Question

How do you change the size of figure drawn with matplotlib?

Answer 1

To increase size of your figure N times you need to insert this just before your pl.show():

N = 2
params = pl.gcf()
plSize = params.get_size_inches()
params.set_size_inches( (plSize[0]*N, plSize[1]*N) )

It also works well with ipython notebook.
