# matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_tightbbox

`Axes.``get_tightbbox`(renderer, call_axes_locator=True)

  Return the tight bounding box of the axes. The dimension of the Bbox in canvas coordinate.

  If call_axes_locator is False, it does not call the _axes_locator attribute, which is necessary to get the correct bounding box. `call_axes_locator==False` can be used if the caller is only intereted in the relative size of the tightbbox compared to the axes bbox.
