[Matplotlib-users] pyplot should have a adjust_axes() function similar to adjust_subplots() (or not?)

[Pim S. <P.S...@st...>]

Hi Everybody,

Before I file a bug report / feature request I would like your input.
I have large numbers displayed slanted for the axis tick labels.
This causes the tick labels as well as the xlabel to fall of the figure.
I know I can adjust the spacing by creating an axes instance manually
but this requires me to step out of the normal pyplot/pylab workflow.
Since subplots have a pyplot function adjust_subplots() and Subplot is
nothing more (as far as I can tell) than more specialized Axes
instance I believe there should also be a function like adjust_axes()
which behaves in a similar way.
What are your thoughts about this?

Kind regards,

Pim Schellart
