I use matplotlib subplots (where one of the subplots is a table),

and after plt.show() I get this warning:

UserWarning: This figure includes Axes that are not compatible with tight_layout, so results might be incorrect.

I have tried to fix it in a few ways without success.

Here is one of the solutions I tried:

fig.set_tight_layout(False)
fig.show()

It is only a warning so it begs the question: are the results incorrect as it warns? – William Miller Jan 27 '20 at 10:08
The results are correct – theletz Jan 27 '20 at 10:28
So you just want to get rid of the warning? – William Miller Jan 27 '20 at 10:28
yes, I don`t want just to ignore it... – theletz Jan 27 '20 at 11:25

Somehow `tight_layout` is active, which is not the case by default. Did you activate it yourself? Then the solution is to remove that command. Else, one would need to see a [mcve]. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Jan 27 '20 at 13:43
I got actual incorrect figure alignment following this warning; so is there an answer to the question regarding the underlying reasons behind the warning? – E.Eisbrenner Jul 12 '21 at 16:21
