How do I enlarge my boxplot?

enter image description here

How can I enlarge my boxplot in jupyter? I can't find any optional parameters that allows me to do so. specifically using seaborn.

Solution

  • You can try using rc parameter in seaborn: 

    sns.set(rc={'figure.figsize':(11,8)})

    where (11,8) refers 11 inch width and 8 inch height.

    You can also enlarge font by passing font_scale parameter along with style to change background from default. Using example from [seaborn boxplot example][1]:

    import seaborn as sns
%matplotlib inline

sns.set(rc={'figure.figsize':(11,8)}, font_scale=1.5, style='whitegrid')

tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
sns.boxplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips);

    Screenshot for result in Jupyter Notebook:

    The default with no change would give: enter image description here

    After the change as above would give: enter image description here
