Rather than using a large size in inches, increase the value of the 
"dpi" kwarg to "figure()".  When it matches your actual screen dpi, the 
display on the screen should be correct in the specified dimensions in 
inches, *provided* those dimensions plus the margins (toolbar etc.) fit 
on your screen.  If they don't, then decrease the dpi (scaling the 
displayed figure down) until they do.

Arnaldo,

 

Thanks for the response. I figured it out. Figsize although the units are inches it does not correspond to inches on the display. I had to go up to 23 X 12 to get a large image on the display. If I want to fill the display what parameters should I use? I’m looking for a large map not a large frame size. Maybe I’m not understanding the functions of the various arguments used.

 

Regards,

Marty

Hi Martin,

 

Have you tried to save your figure and check if it does not enlarge your figure?

 

    plt.savefig("mercator.png")

 

Cheers,

Arnaldo.

Hello,

 

I’m a new user to both python and basemap. I’ve got my map working OK, but would like to make it larger on the display. I’ve tried the height and width parameters in the map definition (m=basemap(…) and plt.figure(figuresize=(x,y)). Neither appear to have any effect on the size of the map.

 

Is there an easy way to convert map coordinates to inches?

 

Thanks,

Marty
