You have two options. savefig does have a dpi option that will
essentially set the figure size for the saved file:
savefig('myfile.png',dpi=300)
play with dpi until you get a figure size you like.
The other way to set the figure size is to specify it when you create
the figure:
figure(1,(10,8))
would create a fairly large figure. The figure (1 in this case) must
not already exist or at least it can't be shown on your screen
already. By that I mean if you have already called figure(1)
previously in your code, you must close it before you try to call
figure(1,(10,8)) or the figure size won't be affected.
