matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_adjustable

Axes.set_adjustable(adjustable)

Define which parameter the Axes will change to achieve a given aspect.

Possible values are:

value	description
‘box’	change the physical size of the Axes
‘datalim’	change xlim or ylim
‘box-forced’	same as ‘box’, but axes can be shared

‘box’ does not allow axes sharing, as this can cause unintended side effect. For cases when sharing axes is fine, use ‘box-forced’.
