Improve subplot size/spacing with many subplots

I need to generate a whole bunch of vertically-stacked plots in matplotlib. The result will be saved using savefig and viewed on a webpage, so I don't care how tall the final image is, as long as the subplots are spaced so they don't overlap. No matter how big I allow the figure to be, the subplots always seem to overlap. My code currently looks like import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import my_other_module titles, x_lists, y_lists = my_other_module.get_data() fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,60)) for i, y_list in enumerate(y_lists): plt.subplot(len(titles), 1, i) plt.xlabel("Some X label") plt.ylabel("Some Y label") plt.title(titles[i]) plt.plot(x_lists[i],y_list) fig.savefig('out.png', dpi=100)
Please review matplotlib: Tight Layout guide and try using matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout, or matplotlib.figure.Figure.tight_layout As a quick example: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=4, ncols=4, figsize=(8, 8)) fig.tight_layout() # Or equivalently, "plt.tight_layout()" plt.show() Without Tight Layout With Tight Layout
