Re: [Matplotlib-users] How do I make a Mercator map larger
Arnaldo, Thanks for the response. I figured it out. Figsize although the units are inches it does not correspond to inches on the display. I had to go up to 23 X 12 to get a large image on the display. If I want to fill the display what parameters should I use? I’m looking for a large map not a large frame size. Maybe I’m not understanding the functions of the various arguments used.

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.

Hi Martin, Have you tried to save your figure and check if it does not enlarge your figure? plt.savefig("mercator.png") Cheers, Arnaldo. --- Arnaldo D'Amaral Pereira Granja Russo Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina - UDESC Pesquisador - Instituto Ambiental Boto Flipper institutobotoflipper .org 2016-01-03 20:20 GMT-02:00 Martin McGlensey: > Hello, > > > > I’m a new user to both python and basemap.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How do I make a Mercator map larger
Without seeing the code, it would be hard to tell what is wrong. Setting the figure size should work. I do this all the time myself. As for converting map coordinates to inches, are you talking about inches of the display? or inches of the map (as opposed to km or miles)?
