Added a couple of extra lines to the matplotlib magic doc string with instructions on how to shut off the default bbox_inches='tight' behavior.
A little background. Setting bbox_inches to 'tight' for inline figures produces figures that are not identical to ones produced using
savefigin the same code block. This is problematic when, for example, you are trying to prepare a publication ready figure in the notebook. (You may want to display the figure in the notebook to share the code with collaborators but at the same time produce a very high resolution version for the manuscript.) Adding a couple of lines to the docs to address this problem could help here.
