I find the amount of whitespace around plots in both normal Python Matplotlib and Matlab quite annoying, specifically the left and right margins that make your plot look tiny when inserting the saved (landscape) figure into a standard (portrait) .doc or .pdf file. Fortunately Python Matplotlib has the “tight_layout()” functionality that takes care of this beautifully. Does Matlab have a
