plt figsize

The plt.figure(figsize=(width, height)) function in the Matplotlib library is used to specify the size of a figure in inches. This function takes two arguments, width and height, which represent the desired width and height of the figure, respectively. The figsize argument is a tuple of the form (width, height), where width and height are both floats.

By specifying the size of a figure using plt.figure(figsize=(width, height)), you can control the dimensions of the resulting plot when it is displayed or saved. This can be useful when you want to create a plot with specific dimensions or when you want to adjust the size of the plot to fit your needs.

Here is an example of how you can use plt.figure(figsize=(width, height)) to specify the size of a figure:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create a figure with a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches
plt.figure(figsize=(6, 4))

# Plot some data
plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 4, 9, 16])

# Display the plot
plt.show()

In this example, the plt.figure(figsize=(6, 4)) function is used to create a figure with a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. The plt.plot() function is then used to plot some data, and the plt.show() function is used to display the plot.

By adjusting the values of width and height in the figsize argument, you can change the size of the resulting figure to meet your specific requirements.
