I don't mean to bother people with this question again, but has anyone
implemented this auto-adjust feature that John was talking about? It would be
nice not having to adjust matplotlib.rcParams['figure.subplot.left'] (and
friends) in every plot script, or alternatively, through a clever hierarchy of
matplotlibrc files.
By the way: kudos to matplotlib in every other respect!
Cheers
