Remove padding from matplotlib plotting

Question

I am plotting an image in matplotlib, and it keeps giving me some padding. This is what I have tried:

def field_plot():
    x = [i[0] for i in path]
    y = [i[1         


        

Answer 1

Try using pad_inches=0, i.e.

plt.savefig( IMG_DIR + 'match.png',bbox_inches='tight', transparent="True", pad_inches=0)

From the documentation:

pad_inches: Amount of padding around the figure when bbox_inches is ‘tight’.

I think the default is pad_inches=0.1
