About the image size that generated from matplotlib

I generated a histogram by using matplotlib

import numpy as np
import pylab as P


mu, sigma = 200, 25
x = mu + sigma*P.randn(10000)


P.figure()
bins = 10
n, bins, patches = P.hist(x, bins, normed=1, histtype='bar', rwidth=0.8)
P.show()

I want to make the picture smaller, how could I do that?

Thanks for your help

In addition to specifying the figsize, there's also a dpi option - although this is more important if you're using one of the image generating backends.

If you just want to set it for this specific figure, then change your figure declaration to:

P.figure(figsize=(i,j))

where i is the width in inches and j is the height in inches.
