How to remove padding around the drawing?

How to remove padding around the drawing?
Hi,

when I’m plotting something in the most straightforward way, like

from pylab import *

plot([1,2,3])

title(‘A title’)

xlabel(‘foo’)

ylabel(‘bar’)

savefig(‘test.png’)

MPL produces an output file that has quite some padding around the

drawing. Is there a way to remove that padding and only save the

“true bounding box”?

I know I can adjust that manually, but that would probably require

constant tweaking if e.g. the font size of the labels and title

changes.

Cheers,

Colin
