[Matplotlib-users] Fixing Figure Size

[Bonnie D. <bon...@bi...>]

hello,

I am working in Python with TkAgg.  I have several plots that I would 
like to display on a single figure.  The problem is, when I set the 
figure size to 12in wide, 6in high (which is perfect for my laptop) the 
plots get scrunched up.  If I resize the window in which they're 
displayed then the plots scrunch up even further.  So it appears to me 
that the figure size is tied to the window size.

I would like to set the size of the initial window in which the plots 
appear and then fix the size of the canvas? frame? figure? (not sure 
what I need to fix).  I have created a scrollbar on the window to permit 
scrolling up and down.

I have attached the Navigation Toolbar to the bottom of the window, 
which is where I would like it to stay.  So, the plots should scroll up 
and down with the toolbar fixed.

My small sample program is attached.

I am using Tk (as opposed to another GUI) as I am generating these plots 
from data in SimPy and am using SimGUI to control the model execution 
and plotting.

I would greatly appreciate any help!
Regards,
Bonnie Douglas
