title: How to increase the size of a Matplotlib plot?
body: <p>I made a mosaic plot with Matplotlib, but due to huge number of data points the plot is squeezed,the words overlap with each other. I want to increase the size of the plot. I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>plt.figure(figsize=()) 
  </code></pre>

  <pre><code>from statsmodels.graphics.mosaicplot import mosaic
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
  plt.figure(figsize=(200,10)) #does not work
  plt.rcParams['font.size'] = 10.0
  mosaic(plants_sub, ['Symbol', 'Family'], gap=0.1);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output:</p>
