从matplotlib图表中删除边缘

Question

I have a question regarding removing edges from charts generated using matplotlib for Python. What I would like to create is horizontal bar chart where only bars can be seen. For generating chart I am using following code:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(5, 5))
top_10.plot(kind="barh", ax=ax, color=["#dd4937"])
ax.axis("off")
ax.legend().set_visible(False)
ax.invert_yaxis()
ax.invert_xaxis()
ax.set_facecolor('red')
fig.savefig(template_dir + "/top_10_chart.png", transparent=True)

It almost creates why I require, but there is an space between edge of exported .png and first bar (picture below - added edge box just to show what I would like to achieve). What I would like to achieve is that first bar is on the edge of picture. I presume reason is that axes is nested in figure - can this be changed or for example remove axis (as currently they are only invisibe)?

Thank you and best regards

Just posting answer here in case it comes in handy to someone.

As both ImportanceOfBeingErnest and IMCoins pointed out, there is actually an option to adjust figure. Only thing that I have added to code is following line:

fig.subplots_adjust(top=1, bottom=0)
