==============
Auto-wrap text
==============

Matplotlib can wrap text automatically, but if it's too long, the text will
still be displayed slightly outside the boundaries of the axis.

Note: Auto-wrapping does not work together with
``savefig(..., bbox_inches='tight')``. The 'tight' setting rescales the canvas
to accommodate all content and happens before wrapping. This affects
``%matplotlib inline`` in IPython and Jupyter notebooks where the inline
setting uses ``bbox_inches='tight'`` by default when saving the image to
embed.
