Christian,

I don't recall seeing this behavior of absurdly small figures
and no response to figsize argement, even using wxPython 2.5.3
on Mac OS X (though, admittedly I'm using matplotlib 0.8).

The script below works fine for me, and changing the figsize
argument to Figure() does change the figure size. Does this work
for you -- you might have to change the wxversion.select() line,
or just comment it out.  If this works for you, can you post a
simple, self-contained script that fails?

Cheers,

--Matt

The figsize parameter is being respected for me on OSX 10.3 with
matplotlib 0.80 and wx 2.5.4.1.

Not sure if it is a matplotlib version or wxpythnon version that is
causing your problems. I looked through the CHANGELOG to see if there
were any obvious changes between 0.71 and 0.80 that indicated a bugfix
for wx figure sizing, but didn't see any.  You might also check the
commit notes for backend_wx or backend_wxagg.
