Matplotlib:将y-ticks左对齐

我有可变长度的刻度标签,我想将它们对齐到左边(即在较短的轴和y轴之间有一个空格)。有没有合理的方法来做到这一点? 使用水平对齐“左”将它们对齐到左侧,但它们都从轴开始,因此它们最终在图中。所以另一个问题可能是 - 我可以改变他们的出发点吗?

示范代码:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ticks = ["Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicin", "g elit, sed do",      "eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labo", "re et dolore magna ali", "qua. Ut en", "im ad minim veniam, quis nostr", "ud exercitation ullamco labo", "ris nisi ut aliquip ex ea c", "ommodo co", "nsequat. Duis aute irure dolor in rep"]
data = [5,1,2,4,1,4,5,2,1,5]
ind = np.arange(len(data))
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.barh(ind, data, 0.999)
ax.set_yticks(ind + 0.5)
r = ax.set_yticklabels(ticks)#, ha = 'left')
fig.set_size_inches(12, 8)
fig.savefig(r'C:\try.png', bbox_extra_artists=r, bbox_inches='tight')

您只需添加pad即可。见matplotlib ticks position relative to axis

yax = ax.get_yaxis()
yax.set_tick_params(pad=pad)

(doc)

要弄清楚垫应该是什么:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ticks = ["Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicin", "g elit, sed do",      "eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labo", "re et dolore magna ali", "qua. Ut en", "im ad minim veniam, quis nostr", "ud exercitation ullamco labo", "ris nisi ut aliquip ex ea c", "ommodo co", "nsequat. Duis aute irure dolor in rep"]
data = [5,1,2,4,1,4,5,2,1,5]
ind = np.arange(len(data))
fig = plt.figure(tight_layout=True) # need tight_layout to make everything fit
ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.barh(ind, data, 0.999)
ax.set_yticks(ind + 0.5)
r = ax.set_yticklabels(ticks, ha = 'left')
fig.set_size_inches(12, 8, forward=True) 
# re-size first, the shift needs to be in display units
plt.draw()  # this is needed because get_window_extent needs a renderer to work
yax = ax.get_yaxis()
# find the maximum width of the label on the major ticks
pad = max(T.label.get_window_extent().width for T in yax.majorTicks)

yax.set_tick_params(pad=pad)
plt.draw()
