Comment (by kcrisman):
It's not critical in that sense, but it's the kind of thing where I figure
we might as well make sure that any error message sent makes sense. The
current error
{{{
ValueError: width and height must each be below 32768
}}}
doesn't refer to `figsize` and at least made me totally miss that I had
somehow smuggled a minus sign in there, since I was frantically trying to
make the image smaller and wondering why five was too big :-) I figure if
it can happen to an experienced Sage user "on the spot", it will
definitely happen to a new user. Jeroen's comment seems quite reasonable
especially as everything matplotlib is going to end up a float anyway, if
I recall correctly.
I'll try to get this all packaged up in the next day or two.
