How to make inline plots in Jupyter Notebook larger?

python matplotlib ipython jupyter-notebook

The default figure size (in inches) is controlled by

matplotlib.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = [width, height]

For example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as pltplt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = [10, 5]

creates a figure with 10 (width) x 5 (height) inches

python matplotlib ipython jupyter-notebook

Yes, play with figuresize and dpi like so (before you call your subplot):

fig=plt.figure(figsize=(12,8), dpi= 100, facecolor='w', edgecolor='k')

As @tacaswell and @Hagne pointed out, you can also change the defaults if it's not a one-off:

plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = [12, 8]plt.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 100 # 200 e.g. is really fine, but slower

python matplotlib ipython jupyter-notebook

I have found that %matplotlib notebook works better for me than inline with Jupyter notebooks.

Note that you may need to restart the kernel if you were using %matplotlib inline before.

Update 2019:If you are running Jupyter Lab you might want to use%matplotlib widget
