Change size and dpi of plot in SolaraViz

[gkutlerdodd]

Hello! I was wondering whether it is possible to increase the size and dpi of a plot on the page when using make_space_component with SolaraViz? Since the function you give to post_process acts on an Axes object, I don't see how you would increase the plot size using this. Thanks for the help!

Good question and no idea.

You can get the figure from the Axes instance (i.e., ax.fig), see matplotlib.Axes. Once you have the figure instance, you have access to all methods that are defined on the figure. See matplotlib.Figure. There are a set_size_inches and set_dpi method, so it should be possible to do this.

Thank you, this worked for changing the dpi! set_size_inches did not increase the size of the plot on the page, it just made the agents smaller in the same sized plot, so it looks like the plot size is controlled by SolaraViz and not the plot object itself. Any ideas for this?

Strange: in the epstein example changing the size does work on my machine.

It was a typo on my part, I got it to work. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for figuring this out!

I think it might be nice to document this somewhere, @gkutlerdodd have a location where you would find this logical?

the simplest would be to add it to the docs for SolaraViz (which don't render yet because of #2451)
