I'm confused about what
matplotlib.pyplot.figure(figsize = (a,b)) *means*
a and b are width and height in inches. For vector backends (svg, ps,
pdf), that's all there is to it--unless there is a bug. For non-vector
output (screen, *.png), the a, b get translated to pixels based on the
figure.dpi (if to the screen) or the savefig.dpi (if to a file). If you
display such a file on the screen, or print it, the size will depend on
the software used for that display or printing, and this is completely
out of mpl's control.
(Actually, even for vector output, what you see upon display will depend
on the software used for display--acroread, evince, gs, ghostview,
etc.--and on how it is configured. But at least the vector output
formats specify physical sizes in real units, not arbitrary pixels.)
It appears that the figure gets *bigger* as I make a and b *smaller* !??!
You will need to be more explicit about what you are doing to reach this
conclusion.
