Hi Goyo and Darren,
thanks for pointing out the rcParams solution! For the time being,
this seems an OK approach. I'd like to use the automatic solution,
though, but this does not seem to work:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.transforms as mtransforms
import numpy,pylab,matplotlib.ticker as mtick
x = numpy.linspace(0,10,1000)
y = numpy.exp(x)
pylab.rcdefaults()
def on_draw(event):
bboxes = []
for label in labels:
bbox = label.get_window_extent()
# the figure transform goes from relative coords->pixels and we
# want the inverse of that
bboxi = bbox.inverse_transformed(fig.transFigure)
bboxes.append(bboxi)
# this is the bbox that bounds all the bboxes, again in relative
# figure coords
bbox = mtransforms.Bbox.union(bboxes)
if fig.subplotpars.left < bbox.width:
# we need to move it over
fig.subplots_adjust(left=1.1*bbox.width) # pad a little
fig.canvas.draw()
return False
fig = pylab.figure(figsize=(5,3))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_yscale('log')
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(mtick.FormatStrFormatter('%d'))
ax.set_xlabel('asdf')
ax.set_ylabel('qwer')
ax.plot(x,y)
labels = ax.get_yticklabels()
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('draw_event', on_draw)
fig.savefig('example_mpl-ticker_2')
