[Matplotlib-users] Adapt plot- or font-size to avoid xlabel cutting

[Sandro T. <mo...@de...>]

Hi!
I have this configuration file:

$ cat matplotlibrc
figure.figsize   : 4, 3
figure.dpi	 : 300
savefig.dpi	 : 300
font.size	 : 9.0

and using this code

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.xlabel('This is the X axis')
plt.ylabel('This is the Y axis')
plt.savefig('7900_02_06.png')

I obtain the attached image that, as you can see, has xlabel tect cut.

What is the best way to avoid it? reducing the actual "plot" area
(axes and line)? or reducing the font size?

Now that I look better at it, isn't it a bug after all? I see ylabel
correctly rendered, and xlabel not (but it's late in the night, so I
might be mistaken :) ) .

Thanks in advance,
