Labels end up outside figure

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,

I have tried to make a plot using the twinx() method to get different left
and right scales in the same plot.

The plot looks fine, but the y labels end up outside the figure. The same
problem can be seen in the example from the matplot homepage:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/two_scales.html

Here the y labels 'exp' and 'sin' are outside the plot.

Does anyone know a good fix for this? Preferably one which doesn't involve
manual resizing?

I use ipython with -pylab to generate the plots.

Best regards,
Jóan Petur

While example in the link try to make a room for ticklable, a same can
be done with a label.

If you don't mind your figure size slightly changed, you may try

savefig("yourfilename", bbox_inches="tight")
