Scale plot size of Matplotlib Plots in Jupyter Notebooks

Question

Is there a possibility to scale the plot size of matplotlib plots in jupyter notebooks? You could increase the plot size by changing the default values of figure.figsize

Answer 1

You don't want to change the figure size. You want to change the dpi (dots per inch).
Also see Relationship between dpi and figure size.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline

def plot(dpi):
    fig, ax=plt.subplots(dpi=dpi)
    ax.plot([2,4,1,5], label="Label")
    ax.legend()

for i in range(1,4):
    plot(i*72)
