Python / Matplotlib - 调整绘图边缘和x轴之间的间距

Question

How can I adjust the amount of space between the x-axis and the edge of the plot window? My x-axis labels are oriented vertically and they are running off of the edge of the window that Matplotlib draws.

Here's some example code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x=[1,2,3,4,5]
y=[1,2,3,4,5]
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xticks(rotation='vertical')
plt.show()

Answer 1

As Paul said, you are using figures. You can get a reference to the current figure with gcf() and then set the spacing as per the FAQ . I've added two lines to your code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x=[1,2,3,4,5]
y=[1,2,3,4,5]
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xticks(rotation='vertical')

fig = plt.gcf()
fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2)

plt.show()

Answer 2

这是FAQ中的一个解决方案，题为移动轴的边缘以便为刻度标签腾出空间 。
