set_fig_size

set_fig_size(fig, size=None, which='both', **savefig_kw)[source]

Sets the actual saved figure size.

Contrary to the set_size_inches(), this tries to fix the save-time width and height by guessing appropriate draw-time values. The result depends on the backend.

Parameters:

  • fig (Figure) – Figure whose size has to be adjusted.

  • size (float, default fig.get_size_inches()) – Desired save-time figure size, in inches.

  • which ({"x", "y", "both"}, default "both") – Weather to fix the absolute value of the width, heigth or both. If “x” or “y” is specified, the other dimension will be adjusted in such a way to keep the original proportions of the figure.

  • **savefig_kw – Keyword arguments for savefig().

Returns:

Draw-time width and height of the figure, in inches.

Return type:

tuple[float]
