No, I'm still baffled. If you stack 3 subplots vertically in a figure 6
inches high, they are going to be small. You can fiddle with their
sizes a bit by using subplots_adjust, but they are still going to be
small--less than 2 inches high. What physical dimensions do you want,
when you say you want the plot to be "scaled bigger"?
