When I place an inset in the upper left corner, it should not move down, but only to the right to not overlap with the main plot axis labels, and not move into the figure more than it should.\n\nIt would be a great feature to have borderpadding in the form of a tuple, to offset the inset axes by only x- or y-padding.\n\n### Proposed solution\n\nAllow inset_axes(borderpad=(0.5, 0.5))\nThis will also require some backpropagation into the upper classes and methods.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/JulienRee","@type":"Person","name":"JulienRee"},"datePublished":"2025-07-18T13:03:11.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/30331/matplotlib/issues/30331"}
