# Caveats
# =======
#
# * :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout` only considers ticklabels, axis
# labels, and titles. Thus, other artists may be clipped and also may
# overlap.
# * `~matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout` considers all artists on the axes by
# default. To remove an artist from the layout calculation you can call
# `.Artist.set_in_layout`.
#
# * It assumes that the extra space needed for ticklabels, axis labels,
# and titles is independent of original location of axes. This is
# often true, but there are rare cases where it is not.

#
# * pad=0 clips some of the texts by a few pixels. This may be a bug or
# a limitation of the current algorithm and it is not clear why it
# happens. Meanwhile, use of pad at least larger than 0.3 is
# recommended.
