Ok, your version is quite old, and might be older than when the bbox_inches='tight' feature was added.

the picture is saved with imsave correctly (without extra space around it). However I generated it a second time using canvas.tostring_rgb() which I then send to the web server. When I pass a StringIO instance to imsave everything works as expected. thanks again for your help robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention Research study explores the data loss prevention market.
