Figure legend is cut off using pyplot.show()

Question

Figure legend is cut off using pyplot.show()

subramv commented 4 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

Call draw_wheel or draw_wenxiang with legend = True
Call plt.show()

Expected behavior

Legend will fit inside plot window

Actual behavior

Legend is placed outside plot window and is cut off by image boundary

Workaround

Known issue with calling plt.show() and visualizing plot in interactive window
Can get around this by expanding interactive window by clicking -> dragging it larger
Legend is preserved correctly when calling savefig if bbox_inches is specified as tight:

fig, ax = helixvis.draw_wheel(Sequence, legend = True)
fig.savefig('wheel.png', bbox_inches = 'tight')

Cool! How'd you fix this? (I have no clue how Python plotting works)

This is because of how matplotlib works, not helixvis itself. To get around it I know of 3 options, all outside the helixvis call- 1) scale the axes by 0.8 or so to make room for the legend 2) drag the interactive window larger to fit the legend 3) save the image to a static figure with bbox_inches = 'tight'
