inline images have low quality

Question

I\'m loading a TIF file with scikit-image and displaying it inline in an ipython notebook (version 2.2.0). This works, however, the image is quite small when first displaye

Assuming this is the same thing that happens with iPython notebook (with %matplotlib inline) when you go to drag and resize the image, the fix is fairly simple.

If you just create a figure with a different default size, then the resolution also increases with the size of the default (Change resolution of imshow in ipython). For example:

fig = plt.figure(figsize = (10,10))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.imshow(array)

Something like this should increase the resolution of the thing you are trying to plot. This seemed to work for me with your code:

from skimage import io
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline

image_stack = io.MultiImage("my_image.tif")
image = image_stack[0] 

fig = plt.figure(figsize= (20,20)) #create an empty figure to plot into with 20x20 size
io.imshow(image)
io.show()
