Hi all, Forgive me as this is the first time I've posted here. I've asked a question on StackOverFlow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10101700/moving-matplotlib-legend-outside-of-the-axis-makes-it-cutoff-by-the-figure-box#comment12952803_10101700 The question relates to adjusting the size of the figure box to accommodate a large legend when the legend is placed below instead of on top of the axes. I thought I'd post here to see if there are any other answers to avoiding having the figure box cut off the bottom of the legend. Thanks Jonathan -- There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth.

Thanks for a response, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I have some sample code on pastebin http://pastebin.com/W6JmbCsz in case the following does not email out well # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ Created on Thu Apr 12 11:16:03 2012 Using the current stable version of pythonxy on Windows 7 32bit Author: Jonathan Notice how the figure box is not placed correctly, effectively missing the legend entirely """ import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.arange(-2*np.pi, 2*np.pi, 0.1) fig = plt.figure(1, figsize=(8,6)) ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot(x, np.sin(x), label='Sine') ax.plot(x, np.cos(x), label='Cosine') ax.plot(x, np.arctan(x), label='Inverse tan') handles, labels = ax.get_legend_handles_labels() lgd = ax.legend(handles, labels, loc=9, bbox_to_anchor=(0.5,-0.1)) ax.grid('on') #fig.tight_layout() fig.savefig('samplefigure', bbox_extra_artists=(lgd,), bbox='tight') On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 11:51 PM, Benjamin Root <ben...@ou...> wrote: > > > On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 2:05 AM, Jonathan Bruck <jdt...@gm...>wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> Forgive me as this is the first time I've posted here.

Because savefig has to be able to take arbitrary kwargs that get passed down to the backends, it does not check for incorrect kwargs. Ben Root |

hello all,
i've tried it on my laptop, but got this error at the last line:
>>> fig.savefig('samplefigure', bbox_extra_artists=(lgd,),
bbox_inches='tight')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File
"/Users/me/python/virtualenv/bmfvca6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/figure.py",
line 1084, in savefig
self.canvas.print_figure(*args, **kwargs)
File
"/Users/me/python/virtualenv/bmfvca6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/backend_bases.py",
line 1894, in print_figure
in kwargs.pop("bbox_extra_artists", [])]
TypeError: get_window_extent() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
does it mean that i need to upgrade to python 2.7 ?
thanks in advance for help,
gerard

Unlikely. Which version of matplotlib? It might be a bug in an older
version of mpl.
