matplotlib渲染中tight_layout的问题

Question

I have the following code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib
from matplotlib.ticker import AutoMinorLocator
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker
import pylab as pl
import numpy as np

matplotlib.rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica'], 'weight':'bold'})
from matplotlib.font_manager import fontManager, FontProperties
matplotlib.rcParams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'custom'
matplotlib.rcParams['mathtext.rm'] = 'Helvetica'
matplotlib.rcParams['mathtext.it'] = 'Helvetica:italic'
matplotlib.rcParams['mathtext.bf'] = 'Helvetica:bold'
font= FontProperties(weight='bold',size=18)

data = np.genfromtxt('data', names=True, dtype=None, usecols=("x", "y1", "y2", "y3")) 
x = data['x'] 
n = data['y1'] 
j = data['y2'] 
v = data['y3'] 
minorLocator = AutoMinorLocator(2)
def format():
    for axis in ['top','bottom','left','right']:
        ax.spines[axis].set_linewidth(3)

    for tick in ax.yaxis.get_ticklabels():
            tick.set_fontsize(22)
            tick.set_weight('bold')

    for tick in ax.xaxis.get_ticklabels():
            tick.set_fontsize(22)
            tick.set_weight('bold')

    ax.set_ylabel(r'$\mathrm{ \Delta{}E_{solv}^{imp}}$',fontsize=26,fontweight='bold')
    ax.tick_params(axis='x', which='both', direction='in', length=10, width=3, pad=8, top='off') 
    ax.tick_params(axis='y', which='major', direction='in', length=10, width=3, pad=8, right='off') 
    ax.tick_params(axis='y', which='minor', direction='in', length=6, width=2, right='off') 


fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9.6,12), dpi=300, linewidth=3.0)
ax = fig.add_subplot(211)

r=np.arange(1,25,1.5)
p1 = ax.bar(r,v,width=0.9,color='white',edgecolor='black', lw=1.0, align='center')
p2 = ax.bar(r,j,width=0.6,color='red',edgecolor='black', lw=1.0, align='center')
p3 = ax.bar(r,n,width=0.3,color='black',edgecolor='black', lw=1.0, align='center')

ax.set_xticks(r)
ax.set_xticklabels(x,rotation=45) 
format()
plt.axhline(y=0,linewidth=1,color='black')   
plt.axis([0.0,24.5,-0.36,0.15])
ax.yaxis.set_minor_locator(minorLocator)
pl.rc('axes',linewidth=3)
ax.xaxis.grid(True,which='major',color='gray', linestyle='--',linewidth=0.5)
ax.set_axisbelow(True)

data = np.genfromtxt('data-2', names=True, dtype=None, usecols=("x", "y1"))
x = data['x']
n = data['y1']

ax = fig.add_subplot(212)
r=np.arange(1,31,1.5)
p1 = ax.bar(r,v,width=0.9,color='red',edgecolor='black', lw=1.0, align='center')
ax.set_xticks(r)
ax.set_xticklabels(x,rotation=90) 
format()
plt.axhline(y=0,linewidth=1,color='black')   
plt.axis([0.0,30.5,-0.48,0.40])
for label in ax.xaxis.get_ticklabels():         
    label.set_horizontalalignment('center') 

ax.yaxis.set_minor_locator(minorLocator)
pl.rc('axes',linewidth=3)

ax.xaxis.grid(True,which='major',color='gray',linestyle='--',linewidth=0.5)
ax.set_axisbelow(True)   
fig.set_tight_layout(True)  #tried plt.tight_layout() also. didn't work
plt.savefig('image.png',dpi=300,format='png', orientation='landscape')

I am not able to save plt.show() the graph. I get the following error. I still keep getting the same error even if I delete the fig.set_tight_layout(True) line. The reason for posting this whole code is that I am not able to reproduce the same error if I run part of the code.

Thank you for the help.

Answer 1

It was actually some math formatting related issue although not in ylabel. I do not know why but reentering all the list elements (containing several $A_a$) again worked.
