Set real dimensione of a Chart in Matplotlib - matplotlib

Question

I need to set the dimension of a chart exactly. I tried this, but the result is not what I expected (both if I set px and cm). In addiction, I would like to know how to export correctly the image.
import numpy as np
plt.rcParams['figure.dpi']=100
# create data
x = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
y1 = np.array([10, 20, 10, 30])
y2 = np.array([20, 25, 15, 25])
y3 = np.array([12, 15, 19, 6])
y4 = np.array([10, 29, 13, 19])
# plot bars in stack manner
cm = 1/2.54 # centimeters in inches
px = 1/plt.rcParams['figure.dpi'] # pixel in inches
plt.figure(figsize=(800*px,1000*px))
plt.bar(x, y1, color='r')
plt.bar(x, y2, bottom=y1, color='b')
plt.bar(x, y3, bottom=y1+y2, color='y')
plt.bar(x, y4, bottom=y1+y2+y3, color='g')
plt.xlabel("Teams")
plt.ylabel("Score")
plt.legend(["Round 1", "Round 2", "Round 3", "Round 4"])
plt.title("Scores by Teams in 4 Rounds")
plt.show()
Dimensions expected: 800px x 1000 px, dpi= 100
I attach here a screenshot from Photoshop of the exported image
Not correct dimensions!

Answer 1

The Figure constructor accepts a tuple (numbers in inches) with a default of 80 dpi. You'll want to pass a dpi argument to change this
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
fig = Figure(figsize=(5, 4), dpi=80)
The above is 5 inches by 4 inches at 80dpi, which is 400px by 320px
if you want 800 by 1000 you can do
fig = Figure(figsize=(8, 10), dpi=100)
Exporting an image is as simple as
fig.savefig("MatPlotLib_Graph.png", dpi = 100)
