[Matplotlib-users] xlabel cropped

[Florian L. <mai...@xg...>]

Hello!

I have that snipped to create a plot:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
size = (6.1, 3.5)
fig = plt.figure(figsize=size)
plt.xlabel("$x/l_F$")

it's being saved as eps for latex. At the size given the "F" from l_F is 
truncated just a little bit. It works well if I change y-size to 3.6 but that 
makes latex place to figure on a seperate page which I do not want.

Is this behavior by design or a bug? How can I give just 0.1 more y-space to 
the xlabel without altering the overall size?

Thanks,
Florian
