Resolves #100. When saving a figure via (e.g.)
plt.savefig
, there tends to be more whitespace around the figure than desired. This PR removes almost all whitespace. The rationale is that when embedding the figure into a paper/pdf, the paper-layout should handle the whitespace, not the figure itself.Before:
before.pdf
After:
after.pdf
The padding value of 0.015 inches is a little ad-hoc (I personally found 0.01 too small and 0.02 too large, but 馃し), and quite aggressive (removes almost all whitespace). But the value is exposed to users, and can therefore be changed easily.
