Re: [Matplotlib-users] Feature request: automatic scaling of subplots, margins, etc

Attached is a modified version of Tony's script. * no drawing is necessary * support subplots that span multiple rows/columns Please test it and let me know of any problem. I'm planning to push these functionality into matplolib after some refactoring (e.g., it would be good to have pyplot.tig

Hi Jae-Loon, thanks for your comments! Of course I do agree that a figure layout should not change in interactive mode. However, I don't see why this should happen upon a panning action. A different case is when the label or title font sizes are changed, but I was assuming this is adjusted prior t

Since I just posted an almost-identical question, it's no surprise that I agree this would be a useful feature. Reason #1) I create hundreds of quick throwaway figures every day, often in an automated way, and don't have time to fine-tune them. Reason #2) a newbie to matplotlib might be turned off

[Matplotlib-users] Feature request: automatic scaling of subplots, margins, etc

Hi, almost every time I create a somewhat more complex figure I have to fight with the not too smart positioning of the plots and the size of margins around the axes. From many postings here I have learned that this is the absolute intention, i.e. it is broken by design unless the programmer takes
