When I looked at the code in pyramid.py, I saw you struggled with the arguments of the fig.add_axes function. Because the dimensions [left, bottom, width, height] of the new axes are in fractions of figure width and height. Your code performs complex calculations for determining the proper values of left, bottom, width and height.
What if we could position the inset images of the zernike polynomials directly at their right position (m, n)?
Using the function inset_axes, it is possible to use an absolute position instead of a position relative to the main figure. This massively simplifes your code.
