Matplotlib: make x-axis longer

Question

In Matplotlib I need to draw a graph with points on the x-axis on each integer between 1 and 5000 and on the y-axis only in a very lim

Answer 1

You can always try to specify the dimensions (in inches) of the figure you are creating. Something along the following line might help:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(20, 2))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y)

The figsize takes a tuple of width, height in inches.
