Matplotlibs savefig has an option to get tight bounding boxes

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3130072/matplotlib-savefig-image-trim

though using only removes the whitespace on the right hand side.

Using pdfcrop (which is reasonably sane, it's just the bash script in
a makefile using gawk which is somewhat horrible) just seemed like
safer/faster way of getting rid of any white space around plots.

Yours,
Roland
