I am trying to generate plots where the y-axis major tick labels are
date/times. My tick labels are getting cut off. How can I set a
larger area on the left to allow room for my entire date time stamps?
fig = Figure()
canvas = FigureCanvas(fig)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x,y)
ax.set_title('Gamma Ray')
ax.grid(True)
ax.set_xlabel('counts/sec')
ax.set_ylabel('time')
formatter = dates.DateFormatter('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)
ax.yaxis.set_major_locator( MinuteLocator( interval=5 ) )
fig.set_size_inches( (10, 10) )
filename = settings.MEDIA_ROOT + '/images/test1.png'
fig.savefig(filename)
Thanks!
Andy

something like "fig.subplots_adjust(left=0.2)" would work.
