         If you are using the inline matplotlib backend in the IPython Notebook
         you can set which figure formats are enabled using the following::

-

         The default for inline figures sets `bbox_inches` to 'tight'. This can
         cause discrepancies between the displayed image and the identical
         image created using `savefig`. This behavior can be disabled using the
         `%config` magic::
