Hello all,
I would like to make small figures (about 3" wide) so that they are exactly
the right size for a LaTeX document I am preparing. This should be
straightforward, but I fear I am running into inherent limitations in the
matplotlib design.
The particular problem is that the dash spacing for dashed lines seems to
be fixed to a certain number of points. This looks fine for default figure
sizes, but in a small figure, the dash length becomes comparable to the
width of histogram bars I'm producing, so the output just looks like a
series of unrelated scribbles rather than a coherent histogram.
I've produced a short program below which gives a minimal demonstration of
the problem.
Is there some way to change the length of dashes?
Currently, I am hacking together a solution which involves making large
figures with huge font sizes, but I would much rather be able to match font
sizes exactly by making the figure the right size in the first place.
Many thanks,
Jeff

plt.plot(range(20), range(20), linestyle='steps--')
plt.savefig('dashdemo')
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(3,2))
plt.plot(range(20), range(20), linestyle='steps--')
plt.savefig('dashdemosmall')
