Matplotlib savefig does not save axes

Question

I\'m trying to save a figure that works fine in IPython inline but does not save the figure to disk with the axes and titles included.

I am using TKAgg backend by de

You are setting the axis to start at the very bottom left of the figure and to fill up the entire thing. There's no room for the axis labels or the title. Try this:

import matplotlib.pylab as plt  
x = [1,2,3,3]
y = map(lambda(x): x * 2, x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_axes([0.1,0.1,0.75,0.75]) # axis starts at 0.1, 0.1
ax.set_title("bleh")
ax.set_xlabel("xlabel")
ax.plot(x, y, 'r--')
fig.savefig("fig.png")
