I want all of my plots’ box size to be of uniform shape. I want to have same amount of white spaces around my plots with respect to the box borders (in all direction). I’m using bbox_inches=’tight’. But as you can see, by default, matplotlib adjusts the white spaces with respect to the outer most element. In this case, the upper whitespace is adjusted with respect to the 0.0 tick in y-axis. That’s why I’m not getting uniform spacing around the two plots.
