How to Make Subplot Size Bigger in Matplotlib

When creating multiple subplots using Matplotlib, it's common to want to adjust their size to better suit your needs. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to make subplot size bigger in Matplotlib.

To get started, let's generate a plotting window and add some subplots to it. We can do this by importing the necessary package from Matplotlib:

```

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

```

Next, we can use the `subplots()` method to create our subplots. By default, all subplots will have the same size, which may not be ideal for every situation.

To change the size of a subplot, we can pass a tuple of two values (width and height) as an argument to the `figsize` parameter when creating our plot:

```

fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(8,6))

```

In this example, we've set the width to 8 inches and the height to 6 inches. This will give each subplot a unique size, allowing us to tailor the layout of our graph or data presentation.

However, what if you want to change the size of individual subplots? Matplotlib provides an alternative approach using the `gridspec_kw` parameter:

```

fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(8,6), gridspec_kw={'width_ratios': '1, 3'})

```

In this case, we've set the width of the first subplot to 1 inch and the second to 3 inches. This allows for greater control over the size and layout of our subplots.

By using these techniques, you can easily make subplot size bigger in Matplotlib and create visually appealing graphs or data presentations that accurately reflect their importance.

In the next sections, we'll explore more advanced methods for customizing the size and layout of your subplots.
