I am trying to create a horizontal bar graph with a table in matplotlib. I am almost there, but fail to align the table with the graph. What I got so far:

```
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Example data
appsol = ['llolLl', 'nnM', 'lllld bbbblnl', 'x2x', 'foobar', 'EXZ', 'Flups', 'Flaps', 'Foobar Barfooment', 'ABC', 'FABAS', 'common', 'AQT', 'Faberjak', 'simsalsa', 'LESS', 'Wermut']
y_pos = np.arange(len(appsol)) - .3
y_pos_2 = np.arange(len(appsol)) - .1
y_pos_3 = np.arange(len(appsol)) + .1
y_pos_4 = np.arange(len(appsol)) + .3
num_tickets = [4, 4,3,2,6,7,8,1,4,4,3,2,6,7,8,1,9]
num_tickets_2 = [7,6,5,4,3,4,2,1,2,4,1,0,3,0,2,1,0]
num_tickets_3 = [1,2,1,1,1,2,2,3,1,1,2,1,3,1,1,2,3]
num_tickets_4 = [8,7,6,2,13,6,8,9,7,6,5,4,3,6,8,9,12]

bar_width = .2

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(20,20))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

# correct yticks
plt.yticks(y_pos_2, appsol)

plt.barh(y_pos, num_tickets, bar_width,  align='center', alpha=0.4, color='r')
plt.barh(y_pos_2, num_tickets_2, bar_width,  align='center', alpha=0.4, color='b')
plt.barh(y_pos_3, num_tickets_3, bar_width,  align='center', alpha=0.4, color='y')
plt.barh(y_pos_4, num_tickets_4, bar_width,  align='center', alpha=0.4, color='g')
plt.yticks(y_pos, appsol)
plt.xlabel('Numbers')
plt.title('Horizontal Bar Chart with table')

# Table

empty_labels = ['' for a in appsol ]
plt.yticks(y_pos_2, empty_labels)
plt.tick_params(\
    axis='y',          # changes apply to the x-axis
    which='both',      # both major and minor ticks are affected
    left='off',      # ticks along the bottom edge are off
    right='off',         # ticks along the top edge are off
    labelbottom='off')

# Adjust layout to make room for the table:
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.4, bottom=0.2)

cell_text = []
i = len(num_tickets) - 1
for j in num_tickets:
    cell_text.append([num_tickets[i], num_tickets_2[i], num_tickets_3[i], num_tickets_4[i]])
    i -= 1

row_lables = appsol
column_labels = ['So Huge\nMice', 'Elephants', 'Reptiles', 'Germs']

the_table = ax.table(cellText=cell_text,
        rowLabels=row_lables,
        colLabels=column_labels,
        loc='left')
the_table.set_fontsize(15)
the_table.scale(.5,5.0)
plt.savefig('barh_graph.png')
plt.close('all')

```

This produces ![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/li9br.png) almost what I want, except that the table rows are not aligned with the bars of the graph. So I need a way to either move the graph down half a table row, or the table up half a table row. How can I do this?
