matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_adjustable

Axes.set_adjustable(adjustable, share=False)[source]

Set how the Axes adjusts to achieve the required aspect ratio.

Parameters

adjustable{'box', 'datalim'}

If 'box', change the physical dimensions of the Axes. If 'datalim', change the x or y data limits.

sharebool, default: False

If True, apply the settings to all shared Axes.

Notes

Shared Axes (of which twinned Axes are a special case) impose restrictions on how aspect ratios can be imposed. For twinned Axes, use 'datalim'. For Axes that share both x and y, use 'box'. Otherwise, either 'datalim' or 'box' may be used. These limitations are partly a requirement to avoid over-specification, and partly a result of the particular implementation we are currently using, in which the adjustments for aspect ratios are done sequentially and independently on each Axes as it is drawn.
