python - Saving plot from ipython notebook produces a cut image -

i plotting plot 2 ylabels using ipython notebook , image looks when visualized inside notebook.

here how it:

import matplotlib.pyplot plt   fig, ax1 = plt.subplots() plt.title('title') plt.xlabel('x')  plt.plot(x, y1, '-', color='blue', label='snr') ax1.set_ylabel('y1', color='blue') tl in ax1.get_yticklabels():     tl.set_color('blue')  ax2 = ax1.twinx() plt.plot(x, y2, '--', color='red', label='ngal') ax2.set_ylabel('y2', color='red') tl in ax2.get_yticklabels():     tl.set_color('red') 

the problem when try save command

plt.savefig('output.png', dpi=300) 

since output image cut on right side: don't see right ylabel if right numbers large.

by default, matplotlib leaves little room x , y axis labels , tick labels, therefore need adjust figure include more padding. fortunately not easier do. before call savefig, can call call

fig.tight_layout() plt.savefig('output.png', dpi=300) 

alternatively, can pass bbox_inches='tight' savefig adjust figure include of x , y labels

plt.savefig('output.png', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')
