I particularly like using the figaspect() function:
http://matplotlib.org/api/figure_api.html?highlight=figaspect#matplotlib.figure.figaspect
The example usage there needs to be updated (it assumes the pylab mode
which imports everything in pyplot into the global namespace). But it
should be accessible like so:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
w, h = plt.figaspect(2)
It isn't perfect, but for its simplicity, it gets it mostly right.
Cheers!
