I have this chart which I'm quite happy with except that I cannot fit 4 labels at the end of the lines and it does not look good when I am saving it as a pdf.
I have already tried changing figsize to figsize=(9,6), and xy=(0.984,y) in ax.annotate and this is as good as I can get.
what else can I tweak to make the labels on the right more visible?
My code.
