<p>In Matplotlib 2.2 <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">get_tightbbox</span></code> started to include legends made on the

<p>This new default may be overridden in either of three ways:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">

<h4>Proprietary sphinx directives<a class="headerlink" href="#proprietary-sphinx-directives" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>The matplotlib documentation used the proprietary sphinx directives
<code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"> <span class="pre">htmlonly::</span></code>, and <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"> <span class="pre">latexonly::</span></code>. These have been replaced with the
standard sphinx directives <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"> <span class="pre">only::</span> <span class="pre">html</span></code> and <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"> <span class="pre">only::</span> <span class="pre">latex</span></code>. This
change will not affect any users. Only downstream package maintainers, who
have used the proprietary directives in their docs, will have to switch to the
sphinx directives.</p>

<h4>lib/mpl_examples symlink<a class="headerlink" href="#lib-mpl-examples-symlink" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>The symlink from lib/mpl_examples to ../examples has been removed.
This is not installed as an importable package and should not affect
end users, however this may require down-stream packagers to adjust.
The content is still available top-level examples directory.</p>
