How do I set matplotlib's DPI for every cell in Jupyter












0















When I try to set the DPI for Matplotlib plots in Jupyter, it appears to be reset in every cell:



enter image description here



The code:



# In[1]:

get_ipython().run_line_magic('matplotlib', 'inline')
from matplotlib import pyplot
print(pyplot.rcParams['figure.dpi'])
pyplot.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 150
print(pyplot.rcParams['figure.dpi'])

# In[2]:

print(pyplot.rcParams['figure.dpi'])


How do I set a consistent DPI for plots throughout the entire notebook?



This is using Jupyter 1.0.0, Matplotlib 3.0.1, Python 3.6 on Windows 10.

          That's a bug[*] in IPython. To work around that use the first cell of your notebook to set the backend. Manipulate the rcParams in subsequent cells.



          enter image description here





          [*] See:




          • ipython/ipython#11098

          • matplotlib/matplotlib#11693


          • matplotlib/matplotlib#11393

          • matplotlib/matplotlib#11815

          • jupyter/notebook#3385


          Let me quote here a comment by @takluyver:




          There's a bit of setup that happens just after the cell where %matplotlib inline is called, I think. So if you set things in that cell, they can be overridden by IPython's setup. After that, things you change should (I hope) be kept between cells.

          • Ah wonderful! I am often switching between different displays and environments, so this is much better than passing (even a global) DPI to every plotting function.
