[Matplotlib-users] Homepage gallery axis labels

[Randolf E. <eb...@ie...>]

Hi,

the margins of all examples at

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html

for example: 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/collections_demo.html

seem to be way to small! For me as a potential user its bad advertising :)

Regards,
Randolf

Hi,

this is a known problem when working with subplots, reducing the
figure size or increasing the font size. It is like that by design but
there are workarounds.

Hope this helps :)

Yes, it is a known problem, and it is by design.  However, the OP has a good
point that the gallary should have nice-looking plots.  Therefore, it would
make sense to modify those really bad examples with subplot_adjust() to
allow them to look better.
