Having read many of the posts on this site about resizing graphs and setting limits on graph sizes in Jupyter, I am virtually convinced there is something different when it comes to 3D plotting.

This is my 3D scatterplot that Jupyter keeps giving back to me, despite having tried many figsize and dpi= settings (either in plt.figure() or within plt.rcParams()),

This is my data and my current code,

%pylab inline

pylab.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (20, 16)

pylab.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 200



import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import matplotlib



from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D



# data1



fig = plt.figure()



ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')



ax.scatter(data1.a_close, data1.g_close, data1.m_close)

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I am using a Mac (10.11) and these are all my pip installed packages, if this provides some detail. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling jupyter, but that has not helped

This is due to a bug in matplotlib 3.0.0. It should not occur in matplotlib 3.0.1.

Options you have:

• Update to matplotlib 3.0.1


• 
  

  Set the following option in your jupyter notebook before plotting

  
  
  

  %config InlineBackend.print_figure_kwargs = {'bbox_inches':None}
  
  

  
  



• Use the %matplotlib notebook backend instead of the %matplotlib inline one.

Try replacing

%pylab inline

pylab.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (20, 16)

pylab.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 200



import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import matplotlib

with

%matplotlib inline



import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import matplotlib



matplotlib.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (20, 16)

matplotlib.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 200

Sometimes that happens to me as well on my Mac.

First use this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import matplotlib

%matplotlib inline



matplotlib.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (20, 16)

matplotlib.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 200

The trick for my case: First import and then use the %matplotlib inline command. However, seems like a bug.
