Root Cause

Calling plt.subplots_adjust() with inconsistent parameters where left is greater than or equal to right, or bottom >= top.

generic

中文

调用plt.subplots_adjust()时参数不一致，left大于等于right，或bottom大于等于top。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Ensure left is less than right and bottom less than top 
    plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.1, right=0.9, bottom=0.1, top=0.9)
  2. 90% success Use tight_layout() or constrained_layout instead 
    plt.tight_layout()

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Using negative values for left and right 70% fail

    Negative values are allowed but must still satisfy left < right.

  2. Swapping left and right values 50% fail

    If left > right, swapping them fixes the error, but the layout may not be intended.
