Christian -
There is no command line to change the size of the figure window after you
have created it.
I think a prototype window has been implemented for the GTK backend, but I
haven't used it.
In pylab, the command axis('equal') set the aspect ratio equal on both axis
(so that circles look like circles), but I don't think that is what you
want.
You can also define the relative size of axes, for example
figure(figsize=3D(8,8))
axes((.1,.1,.8,.4))
makes an x axis that is twice as long as the y axis.

Thanks for help.

I want to change the *aspect ratio* of matplotlib output (on screen and
PNG)

It appears that figure(figsize=3D(a,b)) method mentioned below
alters plot but final window still has same final size on the screen.

Maybe this is 100% clear-=3D=3D=3D> **What commands are EXACTLY equivalent
to making plot bigger by dragging window with the MOUSE???***
