Hello  
what are the Julia PyPlot equivalents to R’s margin parameters `oma` and `mai`?  
Thank you

Hi.  
This is not really a Julia question and quick googling provides workable answers. See if the simple example below helps. It brings the left/right margins in by 30% and the top/bottom margins in by 20%:

```julia
using PyPlot
x = 0:0.1:3π
y = sin.(x)
PyPlot.plot(x,y,label="sin(x)")
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.3, right=0.7, top=0.8, bottom=0.2)

```
