title: Changing Seaborn figure size
body: <p>Here is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>plt.figure(figsize=(15,6)) # does not affect the following plot
  fig, ax = plt.subplots()
  ax.set_xticklabels(q9.columns.values[::-1], fontproperties=label_font, fontsize=14)
  sns.barplot(q9.columns.values, q9.iloc[[1]].get_values()[0], palette="GnBu_d", ax=ax)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I had to set the font in this case, so I need the ax object. The final plot is really small, definitely not (15,6). I think by setting <code>ax=ax</code> changed the size of the plot to its default size.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea on how to change the size of the figure in this case?</p>
