So I’m trying to do a bar plot on a data where x
is the username (string ) and each x
is long enough to overlap each other, so I have to rotate the x
label. No problem there. However, when exporting the plot results, the x
label on the exported image is cropped. I tried using plt.tight_layout()
and worked, but it change the look of the plot. The code is similar to this
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt x= ['abc', 'ronaldo', 'melon_killer_123456'] y= [1, 2, 3] plt.bar(x, y) plt.xticks(rotation = 90) plt.savefig('a.png') plt.show()
Exported image:
I want it to look like this (Got this by using jupyter notebook and manually save output image):
So how to do that?

You can play around with the rcParams size settings and the plt.subplots_adjust
settings until you get your desired image.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x= ['abc', 'ronaldo', 'melon_killer_123456'] y= [1, 2, 3] plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = (5,10) plt.bar(x, y) plt.xticks(rotation = 90) plt.subplots_adjust(top=0.925, bottom=0.20, left=0.07, right=0.90, hspace=0.01, wspace=0.01) plt.savefig('a.png') plt.show()
