A (partial) workaround is possible using the axes_grid1 toolkit (i.e., you need matplotlib 1.0). Attached is a module I just cooked up (based on my previous attempt @ http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18129.html), and it seems to work quite well. The usage is simple. ax = plt.axes([0,0,1,1]) ax.set_yticks([0.5]) ax.set_yticklabels(["very long label"]) make_axes_area_auto_adjustable(ax) # This is where axes_grid1 comes in Then, the axes area(including ticklabels and axis label) will be automatically adjusted to fit in the given extent ([0, 0, 1, 1] in the above case). While this is mainly for a single axes plot, you may use it with multi-axes plot (but somewhat trickier to use). A few examples are included in the module. Regards, -JJ
