Hi,

the margins of all examples at

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html

for example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/collections_demo.html

seem to be way to small! For me as a potential user its bad advertising :slight_smile:

Regards,

Hi,

this is a known problem when working with subplots, reducing the
figure size or increasing the font size. It is like that by design but
there are workarounds.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.

Yes, it is a known problem, and it is by design. However, the OP has a good point that the gallary should have nice-looking plots. Therefore, it would make sense to modify those really bad examples with subplot_adjust() to allow them to look better.
