Friends,
I am trying to make a figure for publication. I am making a double column figure of 7inch as per journal guidelines. The figure comes out nicely but the final size of the figure that is saved is not what i have given in ‘figsize’. It is 10inch X 5.38 inch. How can i make mpl to create the figure of exact size and resolution?
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(7,4))
fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.1,hspace=0.1)
ax1=fig.add_subplot(221)
ax2=fig.add_subplot(222,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
ax3=fig.add_subplot(223,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
ax4=fig.add_subplot(224,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
Thanks,
Bala
Hello everyone.
If I try to use LaTeX for text processing (i.e. text.usetex : True in my matplotlibrc), I get a cryptic LaTeX error which didn't use to be there before. I get the same problem when using matplotlib-0.98.5 which I compiled from source, and matplotlib-1.0.0 from macports. My python version is 2.6.5 (from macports) and I am running Mac OS X 10.6.4.
The error messages are pretty much the same no matter what I plot, and everything works fine if text.usetex : False.
Regards
Paul.

That's strange. I don't see any problems with the figure size on my system. This may seem like a silly question, but do you have the same sizing issue for the following code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(7,4))
fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.1,hspace=0.1)
ax1=fig.add_subplot(221)
ax2=fig.add_subplot(222,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
ax3=fig.add_subplot(223,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
ax4=fig.add_subplot(224,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
plt.savefig('test.pdf')
# works fine on my system with png, pdf, and eps
I just want to make sure you aren't altering the figure in any other way before you save.
Are you using savefig or are you saving from a GUI window? Are you on a current version of matplotlib (if yes, you might be interested in `plt.subplots` to create your axes)? What image format are you using?

Hi Tony,
My mpl version is 0.98.5.2. I saved the figure using GUI. I just tried saving with savefig function. In that case, the size of the figure is exactly what i gave in figsize arguement. You question helped me. Thank you.
Thanks,
Bala

Can't reproduce the error here on Mac OS X 10.6.4 64bit with
framework-compiled Python 2.6.5 and matplotlib from svn. I could
imaging you are missing file creation rights or similar in the
directory where matplotlib wants to place that foobar123345.tex file.

It seems that I had changed an environment variable (TEXINPUTS) elsewhere, meaning that latex didn't pick up the right source file. Everything seems fine now!
