Hi,
I am using matplotlib to draw graphs. When I try to save a picture (using savefig; usually as png, but at some point I might need eps files as well), the actual graph comprises less than the central 50% of the image, the rest of the image is wasted space.
I already tried figure(frameon = False, facecolor = 'w') and box(False) to get rid of the redundant frame, but apparently it did not help (apart from removing the black frame, obviously, but what I want is to save only what is inside this frame).
Any ideas how to do this? If not, does anyone know a python tool that handles pngs and would enable me to crop the picture in a second step?
Arne
I don't think this is the default behavior. If I do
t=arange(0,1,0.01)
y=sin(2*pi*t)
plot(t,y)
xlabel('Time (sec)')
ylabel('Amplitude')
savefig('test.png')
I get the attached png without the extra border you describe.

Sorry, maybe I didn't make that clear enough.
I was talking about a graph as in "graph theory". Since there is no meaningful way to label the axes, and, in fact, no reason to show them at all, the white space I was talking about is just where in your picture there are the labels. So, looking at your example, what I'd like to have is what's inside the black rectangle, i.e. a png where the blue curve touches the top and the bottom of the image.

Arne,
I don't know about the "real" solution to this problem, but if you
want to go the route of "artificially" solving it with an image
library for post processing, you can check out Python Imaging Library:

I think what you want to do is create your axes so they span the entire
figure:
axes([0,0,1,1])

Not a problem. Go into your matplotlibrc file and change these lines:
# The figure subplot parameters. All dimensions are fraction of the
# figure width or height
figure.subplot.left : 0.001 # the left side of the subplots of the figure
figure.subplot.right : 0.999 # the right side of the subplots of the figure
figure.subplot.bottom : 0.001 # the bottom of the subplots of the figure
figure.subplot.top : 0.999
figure.subplot.wspace : 0.001 # the amount of width reserved for
blank space between subplots
figure.subplot.hspace : 0.001 # the amount of height reserved for
white space between subplots
They control the white space around the frame where the axes go. With
the above values, I created the attached plot which I think is close
to what you want.

Yes, that is indeed what I was looking for - and it's significantly easier than I expected.
