Constrained layout vs tight layout in Matplotlib - Interactive Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to enable tight layout in a matplotlib plot.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
plt.[1]()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.show() instead of plt.tight_layout()

Calling tight_layout on the Axes object instead of pyplot

Using plt.tight_layout() adjusts subplot params so that subplots fit into the figure area nicely.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to enable constrained layout when creating a figure.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(constrained_layout=[1])
ax.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ATrue

BFalse

CNone

D0

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing a string instead of a boolean

Using False which disables constrained layout

Setting constrained_layout=True automatically adjusts the layout to prevent overlaps.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly apply tight layout after plotting.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
fig.[1]()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Calling show() instead of tight_layout()

Trying to call constrained_layout() as a method

The tight_layout() method is called on the Figure object to adjust spacing.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a figure with constrained layout and plot a line.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots([1]=[2])
ax.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

BTrue

CFalse

Dtight_layout

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using tight_layout as a parameter name

Setting constrained_layout to False

Use constrained_layout=True in plt.subplots() to enable constrained layout.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that filters words by length and squares the length.

Matplotlib

words = ['cat', 'dog', 'elephant', 'bee']
lengths = {word: len(word)[1]2 for word in words if len(word) [2] 3 and word != [3]
print(lengths)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A**

B>

C'dog'

D<

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '+' instead of '**' for power

Using '<' instead of '>' for filtering

Not quoting the word 'dog'

This comprehension squares the length of words longer than 3 letters and excludes 'dog'.
