matplotlib get figure size

To get the figure size in matplotlib using the C language, you can follow these steps:

1. Include the necessary header files:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <matplotlib.h>

1. Initialize the figure object:

Py_Initialize();

1. Import the necessary modules:

PyObject* matplotlib = PyImport_ImportModule("matplotlib");
PyObject* pyplot = PyObject_GetAttrString(matplotlib, "pyplot");

1. Create a figure:

PyObject* figure = PyObject_CallMethod(pyplot, "figure", NULL);

1. Get the figure size:

PyObject* figure_size = PyObject_GetAttrString(figure, "get_size_inches");

1. Convert the figure size to a C array:

double size_array = (double) PyArray_DATA(figure_size);

1. Access the width and height values:

double width = size_array[0];
double height = size_array[1];

1. Print the figure size:

printf("Figure size: %.1f x %.1f\n", width, height);

1. Clean up and release memory:

Py_DECREF(figure_size);
Py_DECREF(figure);
Py_DECREF(pyplot);
Py_DECREF(matplotlib);
Py_Finalize();

Remember to include the necessary error handling and exception checking throughout your code to ensure a smooth execution.
