Grow plot area to account for axis labels? #749

Closed jwhendy closed 5 months ago

jwhendy commented 5 months ago

I'm wondering if the plot area to consider the full width of everything, including axis text. When I angle text using

p + theme(axis_text_x=element_text(angle=315, hjust=0))

... it can result in axis text that goes past the plot boundary:

In lieu of doing this automatically, what would my workaround be? The closest I came to was adjusting facet distance. I'm wondering if this is possibly related, as comments on that issue suggest it's tough to work with the current layout engine.

Would I need to access the current plot element_rect and set a wider width via matplotlib options?

I did find that by increasing my save out width/height, the text fit, so this might only be an issue if one is below some minimum required plot size?

Thanks for any guidance.

This is fixed in the current main branch for the case were the labels are cut off at the figure boundary. This is the test case. A workaround is to increase the plot_margin on the right. e.g. theme(plot_margin_right=.05).

A release is coming out in a couple of days.

But the labels in between facets can still overlap and tor this use adjust the panel_spacing.

Excellent, thanks as always for the prompt info! Great tip on the margin as well; I tried plot_margin= but I'm thinking that wasn't the right option, as it only let me set from 0-1. I hadn't run into plot_margin_right.
