[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib, Qt, and borders

[Thomas Caswell]

Israel,

You probably want to use `tight_layout` or `constrained_layout` on the
embedded figure.

Setting axes position in pixels would get messy if you have more than one
Axes in the figure and you want to handle resizing.

See
https://matplotlib.org/tutorials/advanced/transforms_tutorial.html#transformations-tutorial
for
the stacked coordinate systems that Matplotlib uses.
