Is there any way to get the length (in pixels) of a particular axis?

 

More specifically I am trying to make a clean-looking Formatter object that 
spaces out the labels so that the text does not write on
top of each other, but in order to do so, I need to know the length of the Axis 
that the Formatter object is being applied to.  Is
there any easy (or proper) way to do this?

 

While I am on the topic, are there any ways to get the pixel size of a string 
if it were to be rendered as text?  I know that Qt can
do this, but I wasn't sure if the matplotlib backend system has this 
implemented to make it generic for all backends.  Right now I
just have a hard-coded parameter for this, but it would be nice to make more 
automatic.

 

Thanks,
