Scaling--I couldn't find it, but should this be in FAQ list?

Thank you; I've shrunk the graphic part.

Please respond to the mailing list ("reply to all")

When I save it as an image, it's painting an 800x600 image, so I've shrunk
the portion of the 800x600 image I'm using. Is there a way to crop or do
something comparable?

Not sure I understand the question. You can control the figure size
in pixels by setting the figure size in inches and the dpi -- the
pixel size is the prodict of the two

  fig = figure((8,6), dpi=100) # 800x600

you can control the *relative* proportion of the axes by using the
axes command as before

  ax = axes([left, bottom, width, height])

with these two, you should be able to get whatever size and
proportions you want.

Oops; sorry.

When I save it as an image, it’s painting an 800x600 image, so I’ve shrunk

the portion of the 800x600 image I’m using. Is there a way to crop or do

something comparable?

fig = figure((8,6), dpi=100) # 800x600

When I tried placing that line in a couple of places, I got an error:

jhayward@…2105… ~/bin $ ./barchart
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

Are there other things it needs? (I tried placing a space so “8,6” would read “8, 6”, but it didn’t significantly change the error.)

Sorry, my fault, you need the keyword argument figsize:

In [1]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

In [2]: fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8,6), dpi=100) # 800x600
