subplots_adjust(left=None, bottom=None, right=None, top=None,
                wspace=None, hspace=None)

right = 0.9    # the right side of the subplots of the figure
bottom = 0.1   # the bottom of the subplots of the figure
top = 0.9      # the top of the subplots of the figure
wspace = 0.2   # the amount of width reserved for blank space between subplots,
               # expressed as a fraction of the average axis width
hspace = 0.2   # the amount of height reserved for white space between subplots,
               # expressed as a fraction of the average axis height

The actual defaults are controlled by the rc file
