matplotlib.figure.Figure.set_constrained_layout

Figure.set_constrained_layout(constrained)[source]

[Deprecated] Set whether constrained_layout is used upon drawing.

If None, rcParams["figure.constrained_layout.use"] (default: False) value will be used.

When providing a dict containing the keys w_pad, h_pad the default constrained_layout paddings will be overridden. These pads are in inches and default to 3.0/72.0. w_pad is the width padding and h_pad is the height padding.

Parameters:

constrainedbool or dict or None

Notes

Deprecated since version 3.6: Use set_layout_engine('constrained') instead.
