Getting tight layout to recognize the second axis via twinx()

For example running this code and then fig.tight_layout(). The second axis isn’t recognized. Is there a way to add it to the tight_layout spec or a better method.

out = ones(200)

fign = 52

h, w = freqz(out)

fig = figure(fign)

semilogy(h,abs(w)/abs(max(w)), ‘b’, label=‘Mag’)

ylim(0.01,1.2)

ylabel(‘Amplitude (db)’, color=‘b’)

xlabel(‘Frequency (rad/sample)’)

ax = fig.gca()

ax2 = ax.twinx()

angles = unwrap(angle(w))

plot(h, angles, ‘g’)

ylabel(‘Phase (rads)’, color=‘g’)

Cheers,
Jeff

This is a bug, or rather one of the ways in which tight_layout is limited. twinx and twiny probably will need to return SubplotBase instances if their parent is a SubplotBase instance. I don't immediately see a quick and easy way to do this. I filed a ticket:

Thanks, sounds good just wanted to know if possible now. I will use something else.

My take on this.

And, tight_layout seem to work okay with this change.
