Would something like this suit your needs ? import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Image size width,height = 640,480 # Pixel border around image border = 1 dpi = 72.0 figsize= (width+2*border)/float(dpi), (height+2*border)/float(dpi) fig = plt.figure(figsize=figsize, dpi=dpi, facecolor="white") hpixel = 1.0/(width+2*border) vpixel = 1.0/(height+2*border) ax = fig.add_axes([border*hpixel, border*vpixel, 1-2*border*hpixel, 1-2*border*vpixel]) ax.set_xlim(0, width) ax.set_ylim(0, height) plt.show() Nicolas On Oct 17, 2013, at 4:16 PM, Christoph Groth <christ...@grothesque.org> wrote: > Benjamin Root writes: > >> I particularly like using the figaspect() function: >> >> (...) >> >> It isn't perfect, but for its simplicity, it gets it mostly right. > > Thanks, Benjamin, for your quick reply. > > Unfortunately, figaspect is only an approximate solution, as it simply > uses the aspect ration of the image for the whole figure (with axes and > labels). > > I wonder how difficult it would be to teach matplotlib to tightly fit > the axes around an image, and, ideally, output the figure cropped. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > October Webinars: Code for Performance > Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance. > Explore tips for MPI, OpenMP, advanced profiling, and more.
