This is a typical problem that arises when using the plot_grid from libraries such as matplotlib or seaborn when there exists a misalignment of graphs due to inconsistencies in axis scales, tick labels, or figure sizes. Here are steps to debug and solve the problem:
- Check Axis Limits and Scales
Ensure all subplots have the same axis limits using plt.xlim() and plt.ylim() or by setting sharex=True and sharey=True in grid functions.
Use a uniform scale (for example, linear or logarithmic for all subplots.
- Balance Tick Labels
Tick labels that are too long or inconsistent can overlap plots. Use uniform labels with plt. xticks() or plt.yticks().
Rotate labels with plt.xticks(rotation=45) or using the labelpad to adjust it.
- Equal Aspect Ratio
Use ax.set_aspect() to set the same aspect ratio for all subplots.
For example: ax.set_aspect('equal').
- Use tight_layout or constrained_layout
Add plt. tight_layout() or specify in plt.figure() with constrained_layout=True to let automatically adjust the spacing.
