Matplotlib savefig cuts off pyplot table

Question

I want to make some summarizing visualization + statistics of a data column. I want to combine two or more subplots with a descriptive table and save the figure locally. However, when saving the plot, a part of the table gets cropped.

When I do the following

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

column=np.random.normal(size=10000)
df=pd.DataFrame(column, columns=["Price"])

summary = (
        df.describe()
        .append((df.isnull().sum()/len(df)*100)
        .rename('nans %'))
        .iloc[:,0].to_frame()
        )
fig, (ax_distplot) = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(25, 12))

#Distplot with summarizing table
sns.distplot(df.loc[:,"Price"], hist=True, bins=30, kde=False, ax=ax_distplot)
ax_distplot.set(ylabel='Count')
tab = ax_distplot.table(cellText=np.around(summary.values, decimals=2), 
                        rowLabels=summary.index, 
                        colLabels=summary.columns, loc="right", 
                        bbox=[1.15, .2, 0.25, 0.8])

I get:

When saving it locally with the following command

plt.savefig("Price.pdf", bbox_inches="tight")

Yields:

I have tried

plt.subplots_adjust(right=0.85)

without any luck.

This is an error in how the table bounding box is calculated. You may open an issue about it.

In the meantime drawing the canvas manually (and hence twice) solves this.

fig.canvas.draw()
plt.savefig("price.png", bbox_inches="tight")
