Not to pile on the "auto-adjust to make labels fit" bandwagon, but I've been following the FAQ on adjusting the subplot locations to make room for too-long tick labels:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#automatically-make-room-for-tick-labels and have found that the FAQ code isn't very robust. For example, if I interactively change the size of the plotting window so the ylabels touch the left hand side of the window, stretching it right again pushes the labels and the subplots too far to the right (see attached 'auto_subplot_adjust.toofar.png'). If I make the window too narrow so the figure itself shrinks too much, it starts to raise 'ValueError: left cannot be >= right' exceptions, and then really shrinks the plot even more (see attached 'auto_subplot_adjust.leftright.png'). Any suggestions for making this more robust? Justin
