MPL Cropping

Open lanthias opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

There are some issues with when creating reports with seaborn or MPL plots, where they appear cropped on either axes. Generally making sure that the matplotlib gcf has .tightlayout() applied has fixed the issue, but this doesn't always lead to expected results.

It seems this is a common problem when using matplotlib's save_fig function, which we use under the hood:

This isn't strictly a datapane bug, but we can probably improve the user experience here by adding some padding or making the layout tighter by default.
