I think the default image size is fine at 1000x1000px, which fits on a 1920x1080 screen nicely. Screen resolution is going to continue increasing, and I don't think it's a good idea to decrease the default. If anything, it should increase in the future. For data inspection, I'd rather scroll around large (e.g. 4000x4000) image than zooming/re-centering a 600x600 image numerous times.<br>
<br>
Also, I agree with Matt that we shouldn't be optimizing for notebook operation yet. Although notebooks are great for interactivity, I find it painfully slow to edit and re-run scripts (even with keyboard shortcuts) when compared to an editor + image viewer.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to make the plot window aware that it's embedded in a notebook and adjust the default image size accordingly? I think that would be a good plan, if it's technically possible.<br></blockquote><div>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I recently opened a PR that fixes a number of bugs in yt's plotting<br>
code. Hopefully this will fix many common visual issues that show up in<br>
yt plots.<br>
<br>
As part of the PR I decided to change the default size of yt plots from<br>
8 inches to 6. My justification is that the current default will create<br>
a plot that overflows an IPython notebook output cell, particularly on<br>
small displays.<br>
<br>
The PR is here:<br>
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-request/723/fixing-some-longstanding-issues-with-plot/diff#comment-1433174" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/yt_<u></u>analysis/yt/pull-request/723/<u></u>fixing-some-longstanding-<u></u>issues-with-plot/diff#comment-<u></u>1433174</a><br>
<br>
The discussion about the figure size is here:<br>
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-request/723/fixing-some-longstanding-issues-with-plot/diff#comment-1432943" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/yt_<u></u>analysis/yt/pull-request/723/<u></u>fixing-some-longstanding-<u></u>issues-with-plot/diff#comment-<u></u>1432943</a><br>
<br>
As I mention in the PR description I'm willing to back down on this<br>
change if the consensus is that this is a bad idea.<br>
<br>
Matt has already come out against the change, but before I revert it I<br>
wanted to bring it up here and get opinions from other people.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help :)<br>
<br>
