matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

I browsed Google, and found mainly outdated code examples (also on scipy
cookbook) then some 2008 posts on StackOverflow where at least I find some
trace that matplotlib.figure.Figure has some instruments to change output
image size, but it's in combination from inches and dpi set. However I just
couldn't find how to tell my plt graph to use this matplotlib.figure.Figure
settings, and ended editing matplotlibrc file and changing inches and DPI
there

Shouldn't be there some easier setting to set image size for savefig()
output?

Hi

Hi,

I am having troubles  getting matplotlib to install.  I have mac os X lion with Xcode 4.2.1 installed and  I have used git to get the latest version of matplotlib.  I am also running python 2.7.2 from the python.org site. The installation process was going fine based on the make.osx file supplied .  The only thing I had to do was add a symbolic link to map gcc-4.2 to gcc to get it to compile, the I hit the following problem:

gcc-4.2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -DPY_ARRAY_UNIQUE_SYMBOL=MPL_ARRAY_API -DPYCXX_ISO_CPP_LIB=1 -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I. -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/freetype2 -I./freetype2 -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -c src/ft2font.cpp -o build/temp.macosx-10.6-intel-2.7/src/ft2font.o

Any thoughts on how to fix it?
