How do I extend the margin at the bottom of a figure in Matplotlib?

Question

The following screenshot shows my x-axis.

I added some labels and rot

Answer 1

Two retroactive ways:

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# ...
fig.tight_layout()

Or

fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2) # or whatever

Here's a subplots_adjust example: http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/subplots_adjust.html

(but I prefer tight_layout)
