python-ggplot in IPython cutting off legend in figures

Question

I am plotting using python-ggplot, which I know is still in development. However rather frustratingly in Ipython notebooks when try to plot part of the legends are being cut off. I also tried in the %qtconsole and got the same chopped image, so I think its being delivered chopped. How can I increase the canavas size or whatever I need to do?

print inf_df[:10]

ggplot(aes(x='val', colour='lang', fill=True, alpha = 0.3), data=inf_df) + geom_density() + labs("Score", "Frequency") + \
scale_x_continuous(limits=(0,0.01)) + ggtitle('\n Swahili - blue, French - yellow, English - black')

Answer 1

IIRC, this is fixed if you install latest development version of matplolib (issue with tight layout). You can try to play with the value of the InlineBackend.rc config (use %config magic) that may help you deactivate tight layout.

Answer 2

Maybe move it manually with + theme(subplots_adjust={'right': 0.75})

ggplot(aes(x='val', colour='lang', fill=True, alpha = 0.3), data=inf_df) + geom_density() + labs("Score", "Frequency") + \
    scale_x_continuous(limits=(0,0.01)) + ggtitle('\n Swahili - blue, French - yellow, English - black') + 
 theme(subplots_adjust={'right': 0.75})
