When saving figures generated by Plots.jl with the pyplot, is there a straightforward way to trim the extra whitespace when I call savefig?
I do not know if there is a pure Julia solution, but you can crop the image with the convert command in linux using:
julia> run(`convert -trim in.png out.png`)
(input and output may have the same name as well).
What if I’m working with PDF instead of PNG?
Got it to work with the pdfcrop command line tool. Still, it would be nice if there were a way to get Plots.jl to tighten up figures.
