How to maintain aspect ratio while saving a Matplotlib plot with tight_layout()?
I'm a bit lost with I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm trying to save a plot generated by Matplotlib while ensuring that the aspect ratio is preserved... I'm using Matplotlib version 3.6.0 and I have the following code where I set up a scatter plot with a tight layout: ```python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.random.rand(100) y = np.random.rand(100) plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6)) plt.scatter(x, y) plt.title('Random Scatter Plot') plt.tight_layout() ``` However, when I save this plot using `plt.savefig('scatter_plot.png', dpi=300)`, the aspect ratio seems to change, and the output image does not reflect the dimensions I specified in `figsize`. The saved image appears stretched in one direction. I've tried setting `plt.axis('equal')` before saving, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there a way to save the plot while maintaining the correct aspect ratio and ensuring that the layout remains tight? Any insights or workarounds would be appreciated! This is my first time working with Python 3.9.
