Re: [Matplotlib-users] Save figure without surrounding frame

[Arne.Bittig <arn...@in...>]

Sorry, maybe I didn't make that clear enough.

I was talking about a graph as in "graph theory". Since there is no 
meaningful way to label the axes, and, in fact, no reason to show them 
at all, the white space I was talking about is just where in your 
picture there are the labels. So, looking at your example, what I'd like 
to have is what's inside the black rectangle, i.e. a png where the blue 
curve touches the top and the bottom of the image.
