matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout#

matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout(*, pad=1.08, h_pad=None, w_pad=None, rect=None)[source]#

Adjust the padding between and around subplots.

To exclude an artist on the Axes from the bounding box calculation that determines the subplot parameters (i.e. legend, or annotation), set a.set_in_layout(False) for that artist.

Parameters:

padfloat, default: 1.08: Padding between the figure edge and the edges of subplots, as a fraction of the font size.
h_pad, w_padfloat, default: pad: Padding (height/width) between edges of adjacent subplots, as a fraction of the font size.
recttuple (left, bottom, right, top), default: (0, 0, 1, 1): A rectangle in normalized figure coordinates into which the whole subplots area (including labels) will fit.
