==================
Tight Layout guide
==================

How to use tight-layout to fit plots within your figure cleanly.

*tight_layout* automatically adjusts subplot params so that the
subplot(s) fits in to the figure area. This is an experimental
feature and may not work for some cases. It only checks the extents
of ticklabels, axis labels, and titles.

An alternative to *tight_layout* is :doc:`constrained_layout
</tutorials/intermediate/constrainedlayout_guide>`.


Simple Example
==============

In matplotlib, the location of axes (including subplots) are specified in
normalized figure coordinates. It can happen that your axis labels or
titles (or sometimes even ticklabels) go outside the figure area, and are thus
clipped.

# Caveats
# =======
#
#  * :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout` only considers ticklabels, axis
#    labels, and titles. Thus, other artists may be clipped and also may
#    overlap.
#
#  * It assumes that the extra space needed for ticklabels, axis labels,
#    and titles is independent of original location of axes. This is
#    often true, but there are rare cases where it is not.
#
#  * pad=0 clips some of the texts by a few pixels. This may be a bug or
#    a limitation of the current algorithm and it is not clear why it
#    happens. Meanwhile, use of pad at least larger than 0.3 is
#    recommended.
#
# Use with GridSpec
# =================
#
# GridSpec has its own :func:`~matplotlib.gridspec.GridSpec.tight_layout` method
# (the pyplot api :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout` also works).

# Legends and Annotations
# =======================
#
# Pre Matplotlib 2.2, legends and annotations were excluded from the bounding
# box calculations that decide the layout.  Subsequently these artists were
# added to the calculation, but sometimes it is undesirable to include them.
# For instance in this case it might be good to have the axes shring a bit
# to make room for the legend:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 3))
lines = ax.plot(range(10), label='A simple plot')
ax.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(0.7, 0.5), loc='center left',)
fig.tight_layout()
plt.show()

###############################################################################
# However, sometimes this is not desired (quite often when using
# ``fig.savefig('outname.png', bbox_inches='tight')``).  In order to
# remove the legend from the bounding box calculation, we simply set its
# bounding ``leg.set_in_layout(False)`` and the legend will be ignored.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 3))
lines = ax.plot(range(10), label='B simple plot')

# ========
