In the plot window, you can click on the settings (up), and select the option "tight layout" by pressing that button... I think this is what you are looking for...

It sounds like you're asking about changing the size and dimension of a
graph. Is that right?

Then I suggest looking into `figsize` when creating a figure (especially
if you are using the object oriented interface). Alternately, you can
adjust the size of a figure afterwards with `fig.set_size_inches` (and
variants), and you can get the figure if you are using the matlab-style
interface with `matplotlib.pyplot.gcf()`.

Yes, I saw that but it is a change for all sides.
Is there a setting to change just the left and right padding?

To tweak the amount of padding around the matplotlib axes, you can use
pyplot.subplots_adjust [1] or Figure.subplots_adjust [2].

In most cases, the tight_layout function/method [3,4] will give you
sensible settings for the various spacing parameters.

You probably also have to adjust the figure size (see David Lowry-Duda's
reply) to get whatever effect it is that you want.
