[FIXED] y ticks cutting off in matplotlib in ipython

Issue

I am drawing a matplotlib graph in ipython but my y-ticks are getting cut off.

I tired to use plt.tight_layout() and plt.autoscale() but both do not seems to work. How do I get the ticks to be shown fully?

The code that I have is: set1 and set2 are lists of same size

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import mpld3

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fig.canvas.draw()
x = np.arange(1,len(set1)+1,1)

ax.scatter(x, set1, c='blue', s=200, alpha=0.5)
ax.scatter(x, set2, c='red', s=200, alpha=0.5)
ax.grid(color='lightgray', alpha=0.7)
plt.xlim(0,500)
plt.tight_layout()
#plt.autoscale()
mpld3.display(fig)

Solution

you could adjust where the edges of the axes object is with subplots_adjust

For example

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fig.subplots_adjust(left=0.2)  #Adjust 0.2 to find the right margin for your plot

I think that tight_layout will override this setting, so you may need to turn that off.
