[Matplotlib-users] How do I make a Mercator map larger

[Martin M. <mmc...@fr...>]

Hello,

 

I'm a new user to both python and basemap. I've got my map working OK, but
would like to make it larger on the display. I've tried the height and width
parameters in the map definition (m=basemap(.) and
plt.figure(figuresize=(x,y)). Neither appear to have any effect on the size
of the map.

 

Is there an easy way to convert map coordinates to inches?

 

Thanks,

Marty
