I am working with wordcloud module in python3 and trying to save a figure that should only give me the image of the wordcloud without any whitespaces around the cloud. I tried many ticks mentioned here in stackexchange but they didn't work. Below is my default code, which can get rid of the whitespace on the left and right but not on the top and bottom. If I make the other two values in ax = plt.axes([0,0,1,1]) to 0 as well then I get an empty image.
wordcloud = WordCloud(font_path=None, width = 1500, height=500,
max_words=200, stopwords=None, background_color='whitesmoke', max_font_size=None, font_step=1, mode='RGB',
collocations=True, colormap=None, normalize_plurals=True).generate(filteredText)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.axes([0,0,1,1])
plt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation="nearest")
plt.axis('off')
plt.savefig('fig.png', figsize = (1500,500), dpi=300)
Could someone please help me out with this?
