How can I change the figure size in Matplotlib?

How can I change the figure size in Matplotlib?

You can change the figure size in Matplotlib using the figsize parameter in the plt.figure() function. For example, plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5)) sets the figure size to 10 inches wide and 5 inches tall.

Can I set the size in pixels instead of inches?

Matplotlib uses inches for figure size, but you can convert pixels to inches by dividing the pixel size by the DPI (dots per inch). For example, if your figure is 800 pixels wide and your DPI is 100, you would set figsize=(800/100, height_in_inches).

What if I want to change the size after creating the figure?

You can use the set_size_inches() method on the figure object. For example, fig.set_size_inches(12, 6) will change the size of the existing figure.

Are there any other ways to adjust the layout?

Yes, you can use plt.tight_layout() to automatically adjust the subplot parameters for a better fit, or plt.subplots_adjust() to manually adjust the spacing.
