Remove outside padding on Python Visual

Hi, 

 

I have created a visual using my python script. I want to learn how to remove all that extra padding between the graph and the visual boundary so that it doesn't take up too much space.

 

 

My Python code is:

 

 

import seaborn as sns 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(30,18))
for label in (ax.get_xticklabels() + ax.get_yticklabels()):
	label.set_fontsize(30)
plt.xlabel('Year', fontsize=30)
plt.ylabel('Mark', fontsize=30)
ax = sns.swarmplot(x='Year',y='Mark',data=dataset,palette="Set1",size=10)
plt.xticks(rotation=0)
plt.show()

Hi, @bobbob123 

 

solutio1:
plt.tight_layout() takes three arguments. You want to set them all to 0. Like

plt.tight_layout(pad=0, w_pad=0, h_pad=0).

solution2:

Solved it with the size and aspect parameters. These are parameters of the python command seaborn.lmplot.
Like
lm=sns.lmplot(x='Probability01',y='Impact110',data=dataset,hue='Proj_Type',fit_reg=False,size=10,aspect=1.5,scatter_kws={'s': dataset['Booking']/2000})
