Tight layout while plotting using matplotlib in MA5

Hi Harshal

Ma5 writes a python code in the outputs which automatically creates the figures. You can modify them as you like. Another way is histogram data is written in Ma5-SAF format in the output folder for each sample, you can write your own plotting tool by using it.

By default, matplotlib leaves some space before the left end of the x-range and after the right end of the x-range and that makes the histogram plots look inelegant since it seems that there is an abrupt fall. How do I use the tight layout that is usually used in matplotlib within MA5? Is there a command that gives such a plot in MA5?

But MA5 imports the .lhe events file and then using that we can plot several distributions that we want, right? How and what command should I give on the ma5 interface while plotting the distributions? Because before plotting, MA5 only imports an event file and nothing else. So is there a way to use the ma5 interface to give the tight layout command?

Thanks.

Thank you sir. I get your point of editing or modifying the codes. I misunderstood what you said earlier. I thought that I can simply use the ma5 interface to do these edits. I understood it now.

Thanks Jack Y. Araz, that solved my question.
