Matplotlib change Figure size

Good morning everyone,

I’ve been playing around with matplotlib recently and I drafted some Charts. Unfortunately, I’m currently stuck, as I cannot resize the chart (Code and Screenshots below, sorry for the chaos with the dates). I tried using figsize but it just doesn’t change the output image.

Do you guys have an idea, where I’m wrong?

Cheers and have a good evening! Nik

with plot.style.context('ggplot'):
for row in Data:
    plot.plot(range(len(row)), row)
x_axis = ['01-2019', '02-2019', '03-2019', '04-2019', '05-2019', '06-2019', '07-2019', '08-

Answer

with below code, I save the plot with figsize that set before. in your code first set figsize then plot. in your code try this:

figure(figsize = (20, 6), dpi = 80)
with plot.style.context('ggplot'):
    for row in Data:
        plot.plot(range(len(row)), row)
    x_axis = ['01-2019', '02-2019', '03-2019', '04-2019', '05-2019', '06-2019', '07-2019', '08- 2019', '09-2019', '10-2019', '11-2019', '12-2019', '01-2020', '02-2020', '03-2020', '04-2020', '05-2020', '06-2020', '07-2020', '08-2020', '09-2020', '10-2020', '11-2020', '12-2020', '01- 2021', '02-2021', '03-2021', '04-2021', '05-2021', '06-2021']
    plot.xticks(nump.arange(30), x_axis, rotation = '50')
    plot.savefig('globalTrafficDuringRoni.png', dpi = 1000)

see this example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.pyplot import figure

D = {'a':0.1, 'b': 0.2, 'c':0.5, 'd':0.3, 'e':0.4, 'f':0.6, 'g':0.4}

figure(figsize = (10, 6), dpi = 80)

plt.bar(range(len(D)), list(D.values()), align='center')
plt.xticks(range(len(D)), list(D.keys()))
plt.savefig('globalTrafficDuringRoni.png', dpi = 1000)

plt.show()

output:
