We can change the size of figures in Matplotlib using the figsize argument or using the set_size_inches method.
Using figsize argument
Perhaps the easiest way is:
plt.figure(figsize=(10,5))plt.plot([1,2])plt.show()
This will output a graph with width 10 inches and height 5 inches.
Using set_size_inches method
To change the size of figures in Matplotlib, use the following snippet:
fig = matplotlib.pyplot.gcf()fig.set_size_inches(10, 5)plt.plot([1,2])plt.show()
This will output a graph with width 10 inches and height 5 inches.
