How to completely remove left and bottom white margins of matplotlib draw? - matplotlib

Question

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
data = np.array([[0.8, 2.4, 2.5, 3.9, 0.0, 4.0, 0.0],
[2.4, 0.0, 4.0, 1.0, 2.7, 0.0, 0.0],
[1.1, 2.4, 0.8, 4.3, 1.9, 4.4, 0.0],
[0.6, 0.0, 0.3, 0.0, 3.1, 0.0, 0.0],
[0.7, 1.7, 0.6, 2.6, 2.2, 6.2, 0.0],
[1.3, 1.2, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 3.2, 5.1],
[0.1, 2.0, 0.0, 1.4, 0.0, 1.9, 6.3]])
plt.figure(figsize=(6, 4))
im = plt.imshow(data, cmap="YlGn")
linewidth = 2
for axis in ['top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right']:
plt.gca().spines[axis].set_linewidth(linewidth)
plt.gca().set_xticks(np.arange(data.shape[1] + 1) - .5, minor=True)
plt.gca().set_yticks(np.arange(data.shape[0] + 1) - .5, minor=True)
plt.gca().grid(which="minor", color="black", linewidth=linewidth)
plt.gca().tick_params(which="minor", bottom=False, left=False)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.gca().set_xticks(ticks=[])
plt.gca().set_yticks(ticks=[])
plt.savefig("test.pdf",
bbox_inches="tight",
transparent="True",
pad_inches=1.0/72.0 * linewidth / 2.0)
This code will output the following pdf, but you can see that there are white borders on the left and bottom, so the pdf is not centered after being inserted into LaTex. How to solve this problem?

import numpy as np

data = np.array([[0.8, 2.4, 2.5, 3.9, 0.0, 4.0, 0.0],
[2.4, 0.0, 4.0, 1.0, 2.7, 0.0, 0.0],
[1.1, 2.4, 0.8, 4.3, 1.9, 4.4, 0.0],
[0.6, 0.0, 0.3, 0.0, 3.1, 0.0, 0.0],
[0.7, 1.7, 0.6, 2.6, 2.2, 6.2, 0.0],
[1.3, 1.2, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 3.2, 5.1],
[0.1, 2.0, 0.0, 1.4, 0.0, 1.9, 6.3]])
plt.figure(figsize=(6, 4))
im = plt.imshow(data, cmap="YlGn")
linewidth = 2
for axis in ['top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right']:
plt.gca().spines[axis].set_linewidth(linewidth)
plt.gca().set_xticks(np.arange(data.shape[1] + 1) - .5, minor=True)
plt.gca().set_yticks(np.arange(data.shape[0] + 1) - .5, minor=True)
plt.gca().grid(which="minor", color="black", linewidth=linewidth)
plt.gca().tick_params(which="minor", bottom=False, left=False)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.gca().set_xticks(ticks=[])
plt.gca().set_yticks(ticks=[])
plt.gca().tick_params(axis="both",
which="major",
left=False,
bottom=False,
labelleft=False,
labelbottom=False)
plt.savefig("test.pdf",
bbox_inches="tight",
transparent="True",
pad_inches=1.0 / 72.0 * linewidth / 2.0)
It was an issue with ticks, solved now.
