Dear All, I am aware that this question has already been asked several times on the mailing list, see e.g.
http://bit.ly/aPzQTA However, in the following snippet, nothing I tried has been able to reduce the amount of white space around the figure (including toying around with ax = plt.axes([0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0]) ) Of course, one can always resort to pdfcrop, but I believe there must be a better solution to resize the margins from matplotlib. Please see the snippet at the end of the email. Every suggestion is welcome.
