Method set_constrained_layout_pads

lib/matplotlib/figure.py:2945–2974

Set padding for ``constrained_layout``. Tip: The parameters can be passed from a dictionary by using ``fig.set_constrained_layout(**pad_dict)``. See :ref:`constrainedlayout_guide`. Parameters ---------- w_pad : float, default: :rc:`figure.c

        Parameters
        ----------
        w_pad : float, default: :rc:`figure.constrained_layout.w_pad`
            Width padding in inches.  This is the pad around Axes
            and is meant to make sure there is enough room for fonts to
            look good.  Defaults to 3 pts = 0.04167 inches

        h_pad : float, default: :rc:`figure.constrained_layout.h_pad`
            Height padding in inches. Defaults to 3 pts.

        wspace : float, default: :rc:`figure.constrained_layout.wspace`
            Width padding between subplots, expressed as a fraction of the
            subplot width.  The total padding ends up being w_pad + wspace.

        hspace : float, default: :rc:`figure.constrained_layout.hspace`
            Height padding between subplots, expressed as a fraction of the
            subplot width. The total padding ends up being h_pad + hspace.
