[Matplotlib-users] subplots_adjust in matplotlib does not work in IPython Notebook

[Yuxiang W. <yw...@vi...>]

Dear all,

I have the following code that did not work:

################################
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Make the plot
fig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 1, figsize=(3.27, 6))
axs[0].plot(range(5), range(5), label='label 1')
axs[0].plot(range(5), range(4, -1, -1), label='label 2')
axs[0].legend(bbox_to_anchor=(0, 1.1, 1., 0.1), mode='expand', ncol=2,
frameon=True, borderaxespad=0.)

# Adjust subplots to make room
fig.subplots_adjust(top=.5)

fig.savefig('test.png', format='png', dpi=300)
##################################

It can be seen that the fig.subplots_adjust did not work at all.
The picture from the notebook is normal, but the saved png file
(attached test.png) is cropped.

I am using WinPython 3.3.2.3 64 bit, with matplotlib version 1.3.0 and
CPython 3.3. This happened in IPython Notebook. The backend is the
in-line one.

Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!

-Shawn
