import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import ImageGrid

fig = plt.figure()

grid1 = ImageGrid(fig, 121, (2, 2), axes_pad=0.1,
                  aspect=True, share_all=True)
for i in [0, 1]:
    grid1[i].set_aspect(2)

                  aspect=True, share_all=True)
for i in [1, 3]:
    grid2[i].set_aspect(2)
