Rather than using a large size in inches, increase the value of the "dpi" kwarg to "figure()". When it matches your actual screen dpi, the display on the screen should be correct in the specified dimensions in inches, *provided* those dimensions plus the margins (toolbar etc.) fit on your screen. If they don't, then decrease the dpi (scaling the displayed figure down) until they do.
