Increase DPI of Matplotlib .show() in Jupyter Notebook

Question

I\'m using Matplotlib in a Jupyter Notebook to display an image of a map. The code looks like this:

%matplotlib inline

imgpath = \'./map.png\'

import matplo         


        

Answer 1

If your screen has Retina display, add the following line after %matplotlib inline (or somewhere else before plotting) in your notebook

%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

This will increase the display resolution of your plots within the Jupyter Notebook.

Answer 2

Add this at the beginning of the notebook:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 300

That's it !
