I am a little bit confused by your code example. You get the figure size
and print it, and *then* you set it with the exact same values, and you are
surprised that it came out as [8. 6.]? Note that the figure size is stored
internally as a numpy array, so when you do "print str(DefaultSize)", you
will get the string representation of the numpy array. You can still pass
in a tuple, list, or two separate elements. Try this code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
print fig.get_size_inches()
fig.set_size_inches(11.2, 15.0)
print fig.get_size_inches()
fig.set_size_inches((4.0, 7.2))
print fig.get_size_inches()
fig.set_size_inches([9.3, 11.1])
print fig.get_size_inches()
You should see:
[ 8. 6.]
[ 11.2 15. ]
[ 4. 7.2]
[ 9.2 11.1]
Everything works as expected. There is nothing special about python 2.7 in
this regard. Let us know if you are still having problems updating your
figures and include a stand-alone example showing how the figure size is
not being updated.
Cheers!
