Matplotlib - Export and Publication Quality
If you want a plot to appear larger on screen but keep the same resolution, which parameter should you change?
AIncrease the <code>dpi</code> but keep <code>figsize</code> constant
BIncrease the <code>figsize</code> but keep <code>dpi</code> constant
CDecrease both <code>figsize</code> and <code>dpi</code>
DChange the plot type
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand what figsize controls

    figsize sets the size of the figure in inches, so increasing it makes the plot physically larger.

  2. Step 2: Understand what dpi controls

    dpi controls the resolution (pixels per inch), so keeping it constant keeps the same clarity.

  3. Final Answer:

    Increase the figsize but keep dpi constant -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Size on screen = figsize, resolution = dpi [OK]
Quick Trick: Change figsize for size, dpi for sharpness [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Increasing dpi changes resolution, not size
  • Changing plot type affects style, not size
  • Decreasing figsize shrinks plot
