How to automatically extend a graphic in height with matplotlib?
I have a bar plot with so many values, that the default height of the graphic is too small. How to expand the height until all values are readable?
s = pd.Series(np.random.sample(200))
s.plot.barh()
plt.savefig("plot.png")
python matplotlib

You can use figsize=(x,y)

Simply adjust the height of the figure so it is proportional to the number of rows/bars that you are plotting:
N = 200
s = pd.Series(np.random.sample(N))
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(5,0.25*N))
s.plot.barh(ax=ax)
plt.show()
Thank you. Solved. Can you explain me how to add padding left and right to the figure too?
