Remove the white padding from a figure

Hello,

I try to find out how could I remove the white padding around my figure! I allready searched at google for a long time, but can’t find any that changed my problem. Ich create the figure with this two lines:

fig = plt.figure()
subfig = fig.add_subplot(111)

After adding some plots, lines, annonations … I change this:

plt.axis([a,b,c,d]])
plt.axes().set_aspect(‘equal’)

I need this for exporting the figure to EPS!

I’m using the matplotlib ‘0.98.5.2’.

···


Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi Ronald,

I use:

fig.savefig('graph.eps', bbox_inches='tight', pad_inches=0.03)

Play with the parameters and see what you like.

Hope that helps.

For eps files, I use epstool:
epstool --copy -b file.eps file_cropped.eps

It does not leave any whitespace, which is sometimes annoying.
