<p>This module provides routines to adjust subplot params so that subplots are

nicely fit in the figure. In doing so, only axis labels, tick labels, axes

titles and offsetboxes that are anchored to axes are currently considered.</p>

<p>Internally, it assumes that the margins (left_margin, etc.) which are

differences between ax.get_tightbbox and ax.bbox are independent of axes

position. This may fail if Axes.adjustable is datalim. Also, This will fail

for some cases (for example, left or right margin is affected by xlabel).</p>
