I think this clipping issue is caused by a figure size that's one pixel larger
than the actual canvas. Here's the example that Jae-Joon suggested:
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>>
>>> fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6), dpi=100)
>>> plt.axes([0, 0, 1, 1])
>>> print fig.transFigure.transform((0, 0))
>>> print fig.transFigure.transform((1, 1))
>>> plt.savefig('clipped_right_and_bottom_edge')
The saved figure is 800x600 pixels, and the right and bottom edge are clipped.
Also, notice that the figure coordinate (0, 0) gets transformed to (0, 0) in
pixel space (display space?), while the figure coordinate (1, 1) gets
transformed to (800, 600) in pixel space. But, a figure that includes a point
at (0, 0) and (800, 600) would have to be at least 801x601 in size.
The strange part is that the origin of the figure space is the bottom-left, but
the image gets clipped at the bottom and right edges. I would have expected the
bottom-and-left edges *or* the top-and-right edges to be clipped.
