Change your subplots adjust parameters to make the default bottom, left, wspace and hspace wider. This will reduce the chance of overlaps. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=subplots_adjust The defaults can be changed in your rc file http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html See also these recipes on the FAQ to automatically choose boundaries http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#move-the-edge-of-an-axes-to-make-room-for-tick-labels http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#automatically-make-room-for-tick-labels Automatic layout to avoid overlap is not an easy problem -- Michael Droetboom worked on it for a while but didn't get to a satisfactory point. So far our philosophy has been : make it easy to customize rather than do it automatically. I realize this is not always a good approach, especially in automated figure generators where you don't have access to the data ahead of time.
