Yes. To see this (at least on my platform), you take the example code and try two things: 1) Comment IN this line: self.panel.Layout(). Run it and you'll get the error. 3) Now comment OUT the tight_layout() call. Run it and you won't get the error. So you have to Layout() a parent panel (the one the canvas is sitting on) for this error to occur, but that is a common thing to do in wxPython when using sizers and shouldn't cause errors. Here is the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\testing_tight_layout.py", line 35, in <module> frame = Frame1(None) File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\testing_tight_layout.py", line 14, in __init__ self.Add_MPL_Plot() File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\testing_tight_layout.py", line 30, in Add_MPL_Plot self.figure.tight_layout() File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 1393, in tight_layout self.subplots_adjust(**kwargs) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 1218, in subplots_adjust self.subplotpars.update(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 183, in update raise ValueError('left cannot be >= right') ValueError: left cannot be >= right I just don't understand what this means and why it would be thrown. > Anyhow, your code runs fine in my installment, linux + python 2.7.2 + > wxgtk 2.8.11.0 + mpl master branch. > On which platform you're running this? WinXP, Python 2.5, wxPython 2.8.10.1 (msw-unicode), mpl 1.1.0 as downloaded from the site three days ago. When you say the code runs fine, did you try steps (1) and (2) above? Also, if you just run it without making those changes, does the tight_layout() work to resize the plot such that it allows the axis labels to be seen at all times? (it doesn't for me). So, to summarize: - Error if I call self.panel.Layout() before I call tight_layout(). - If I don't do this, no error, but it still isn't doing a proper tight layout.
