What happened?

When using Ubuntu, there is an issue when plotting on an existing figure where the axes get progressively smaller. This might not be a Eureka! problem, but rather a matplotlib problem.

Error traceback output

/code/Eureka/src/eureka/S5_lightcurve_fitting/plots_s5.py:530: UserWarning: Tight layout not applied. tight_layout cannot make axes width small enough to accommodate all axes decorations fig.tight_layout(h_pad=0.0)

What operating system are you using?

What version of Python are you running?

Reading through other issues online, it seems like the best way to fix this might be to use constrained_layout instead of tight_layout. E.g., https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/9992 and https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/21742
