Hello all, So, I am getting to the point where I need to implement a color cycling mechanism throughout pyplot. So, before I get too deep in implementing it, I have some thoughts that I need feedback on. 1) Not all plotting functions use color cycling right now. Currently, only plot() and any f

I have been wondering the same thing. Matlab is able to prevent labels from overlapping each other. Why can't matplotlib? Chris Rodgers-7 wrote: > > Hi > > Whenever I create figures with at least 3x3 subplots, the x-tick > labels overlap with each other and they also overlap with the title o
