I have a python script that produces a plot, and I run it on a remote machine. The panels and font in the plot are perfectly proportioned, and look as I want them to.
I have recently run the unchanged code on a different remote machine, and the plot comes out having a different aspect ratio.
I had attached the example plots below. The top one looks as I want it. Everything is the same in the one below, and yet, somehow, it is actually landscape now instead of portrait. I have tried switching figsize=(18.5*0.8, 18.5) to figsize=(18.5, 18.5*0.8), but that just made it worse.
The plots were created with matplotlib.gridspec.
Could someone please explain why this is? I guess it must be something to do with the settings of the different remote machines.
Is it possible for me to avoid or undo the changes that occur?
