This PR attempts to make the animation controls (time-slider and play/pause button) compatible with use of
tight_layout()
.Previously, calling
tight_layout
could arrange the animations in a figure, but would not move or take into account the controls, which would end up overlapping the lower part of the animations.This PR seems to work, but requires accessing a private variable of
matplotlib.figure.Figure
to get thegridspec
, in order to modify it to add the controls. Also modifies a private member ofmatplotlib.gridspec.Gridspec
to modify the number of rows. It would be nice ifmatplotlib
provided public methods to access and updategridspec
s, but as far as I can see they do not at the moment.One issue is that the current implementation seems to reserve too much whitespace around the controls. It would be nice to find a way to allow
tight_layout()
to modify the amount of space above/below the slider.
