Re: [Matplotlib-users] Arc reporting bogus bounding box?

[Jae-Joon L. <lee...@gm...>]

MPL, by default, does not do any clipping. So, i'm not sure why the
extent of the circle matters (I think even the bbox_inches option does
not take care of that) . Everything should be fine as far as you
create a figure in an appropriate size. Changing the suplotplot
parameters (or something similar) is not your option?

If possible, can you post a simplified version of your code that
demonstrate the problem?
