Saving Matplotlib graphs to image as full screen

Question

I\'m building a small graphing utility using Pandas and MatPlotLib to parse data and output graphs from a machine at work.

When I output the graph using

<         


        

Answer 1

For everyone, who failed to save the plot in fullscreen using the above solutions, here is what really worked for me:

    figure = plt.gcf()  # get current figure
    figure.set_size_inches(32, 18) # set figure's size manually to your full screen (32x18)
    plt.savefig('filename.png', bbox_inches='tight') # bbox_inches removes extra white spaces

You may also want to play with the dpi (The resolution in dots per inch)

    plt.savefig('filename.png', bbox_inches='tight', dpi=100)
