2x plots for Retina displays with matplotlib and the IPython Notebook

Retina Figures.ipynb

For anyone stumbling across this, as of PR #3381, you can now enable 2x images by just adding the line:

%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

to your notebook.

Thanks!

@fordhurley Wow, thanks :)

Is there a way to add this to a global config file somewhere?

@fordhurley awesome, thank you!

@ijoseph, add the following line to your ipython_kernel_config.py, which for me is in ~/.ipython/profile_default/

c.InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

If the file does not already exist, you can generate it with all settings commented out by entering ipython profile create at the command line.

6 years later, this thread is still going strong 😄

Great gist.

@fordhurley thx

Still useful in 2020! 🎉

Hi,
Would anyone know how to disable this after activating it? I don't want to delete it. I want to use it for one case and stop using it for another. I'm on jupyter notebook. c.InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

Many thanks

ax.legend()

please help with this code
