matplotlib.figure.Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads

Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads(**kwargs)[source]

[Deprecated] Set padding for constrained_layout.

Tip: The parameters can be passed from a dictionary by using fig.set_constrained_layout(**pad_dict).

See Constrained layout guide.

Parameters:

w_padfloat, default: rcParams["figure.constrained_layout.w_pad"] (default: 0.04167)

Width padding in inches. This is the pad around Axes and is meant to make sure there is enough room for fonts to look good. Defaults to 3 pts = 0.04167 inches

h_padfloat, default: rcParams["figure.constrained_layout.h_pad"] (default: 0.04167)

Height padding in inches. Defaults to 3 pts.

wspacefloat, default: rcParams["figure.constrained_layout.wspace"] (default: 0.02)

Width padding between subplots, expressed as a fraction of the subplot width. The total padding ends up being w_pad + wspace.

hspacefloat, default: rcParams["figure.constrained_layout.hspace"] (default: 0.02)

Height padding between subplots, expressed as a fraction of the subplot width. The total padding ends up being h_pad + hspace.

Notes

Deprecated since version 3.6: Use figure.get_layout_engine().set() instead.
