I have this code to create some DensityPlot with M12.0.0.0 on Ubuntu

With[{z0 = 1, zm = 1}, 
 lgnds = BarLegend[{{Red, White, Blue}, {-zm, z0}}, 
   Ticks -> {{-zm + (zm/10), 
      Style[Text[-zm], Black, FontSize -> 14, 
       FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Roman"]}, {z0, 
      Style[Text[z0], Black, FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Roman", 
       FontSize -> 14]}}, 
   LegendMarkerSize -> 140, {LegendLayout -> "Row", 
    Charting`TickSide -> Right, TicksStyle -> None}]; 
 plot = Legended[
   DensityPlot[Sin[x y], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0, 4}, 
    ColorFunction -> (Blend[{Red, White, Blue}, 
        Rescale[#, {-zm, z0}]] &), PlotPoints -> 80, 
    FrameStyle -> Black, FrameTicksStyle -> Black, PlotRange -> Full, 
    AspectRatio -> Full, ImageSize -> Automatic -> {220, 390}, 
    PlotRangeClipping -> False, 
    ImagePadding -> {{Automatic, Automatic}, {Automatic, 30}}, 
    FrameLabel -> {"", "Y"}, 
    LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Roman", Black, 
      FontSize -> 16}, GridLines -> {{20.5}, None}, 
    GridLinesStyle -> Directive[Black, Dashed], 
    ColorFunctionScaling -> False, PlotRangePadding -> None], 
   Placed[lgnds, {{1, 1}, {1.15, 6.5}}]]]

and this what I see in Mathematica where the BarLegend is correct

enter image description here

Now, I export this using Export["/home/.../plot.png", plot,ImageResolution -> 500] and this is what I got:

enter image description here

So, how can I keep the BarLegend position in the correct place when exporting?

  • $\begingroup$ @cvgmt I want to place it at a specific position below the figure and Bottom does not do the job. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ With 12.1.1 on Windows 10, I see the legend incorrectly placed (on top of the plot) in both Mathematica and in the exported png. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MelaGo, it is working in wind. but you need to change Placed[lgnds, {{1, 0.86}, {1.15, 6.5}}] $\endgroup$

Well, the solution to that seem trivial-:) all we need to do is to replace {1,1} by Bottom in the BarLegend[]. So if we replace this in the original code Placed[lgnds, {Bottom, {0.42, 0.3}}] the figure in MMA and the exported one are the same.

With[{z0 = 1, zm = 1}, 
 lgnds = BarLegend[{{Red, White, Blue}, {-zm, z0}}, 
   Ticks -> {{-zm + (zm/10), 
      Style[Text[-zm], Black, FontSize -> 14, 
       FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Roman"]}, {z0, 
      Style[Text[z0], Black, FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Roman", 
       FontSize -> 14]}}, 
   LegendMarkerSize -> 140, {LegendLayout -> "Row", 
    Charting`TickSide -> Right, TicksStyle -> None}];
 plot = Legended[
   DensityPlot[Sin[x y], {x, -2, 2}, {y, 0, 4}, 
    ColorFunction -> (Blend[{Red, White, Blue}, 
        Rescale[#, {-zm, z0}]] &), PlotPoints -> 80, 
    FrameStyle -> Black, FrameTicksStyle -> Black, PlotRange -> Full, 
    AspectRatio -> Full, ImageSize -> Automatic -> {220, 390}, 
    PlotRangeClipping -> False, 
    ImagePadding -> {{Automatic, Automatic}, {Automatic, 30}}, 
    FrameLabel -> {"", "Y"}, 
    LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Roman", Black, 
      FontSize -> 16}, GridLines -> {{20.5}, None}, 
    GridLinesStyle -> Directive[Black, Dashed], 
    ColorFunctionScaling -> False, PlotRangePadding -> None], 
   Placed[lgnds, {Bottom, {0.42, 0.3}}]]]

and this is how it looks in MMA

and exporting this gives the same plot also

Specifically:

Placed[lgnds, {{1, 0.86}, {1.15, 6.5}}]

I modified your Placed lgnds location...this exports this image with your bar below the image, like you want it. I also run v12 on osx. If I remember correctly, ImagePadding[] is less than trivial and is likely what was causing the issue rather than Placed[]....I have had mannnny a broken image because of that function, with endless frustration...however I hope this fix, is quicker.

  • $\begingroup$ Indeed that will work but it does not solve the problem since the plot in the Notebook is not the same as the exported one $\endgroup$
