Resizing plots in the Julia kernel for Jupyter notebooks

Question

I want to know if there is any way that I can specify the size of the inline-plots in Jupyter. At the moment, I use Vega library and width and height don't work. There is any workaround.

what backend are you using for plotting? PyPlot? GR? This question also applies if you are using Plots.jl since Plots.jl also offers backend selection possibility. — Przemyslaw Szufel, Mar 29 '19 at 21:34

I don't know about Vega, though I think there is an environmental variable for ijulia. Using Plots, you can just default(size = (1000, 300)).

Thx but that doesn't work with me even with Plots library. – bensw May 04 '17 at 08:43
That's weird though – Michael K. Borregaard May 04 '17 at 09:41
this seems to work on Juliabox, but doesn't work offline – xiaodai Mar 27 '19 at 09:30

To change the plot size using Vega.jl within Jupyter Notebook, you modify the width and height properties:

using Vega

#defaults are width = 450 and height = 450
b = barplot(x = [1,2,3], y = [1,2,3]) 

#change to whatever values you want
b.width = 200
b.height = 50

#re-render
b

This should work with Plots.jl:

using Plots
plot(1:5, size=(1000,1000))
