i am trying to display a plot but in fullscreen. This is my code :
import numpy as np
import pylab as plt
a = np.array([1,2,3,4])
b = np.array([1,2,3,4])
plt.plot(a,b,'.')
plt.show()
But the problem is : this does not display with the fullscreen. Any ideas to solve this ? Thank you.
The code provided in the accepted answer will maximize the figure, but won't display it in fullscreen mode.
If you are keeping a reference to the figure, this is how you can toggle fullscreen mode:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
fig.canvas.manager.full_screen_toggle() # toggle fullscreen mode
fig.show()
alternatively, if you're not keeping a reference:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure()
plt.get_current_fig_manager().full_screen_toggle() # toggle fullscreen mode
plt.show()
To toggle fullscreen mode using your keyboard, simply press f or Ctrl+f.
manager.full_screen_toggle() makes the pop-up window "full-screen mode", which is not the same as a maximized window. The latter can be achieved by different codes depending on the backend: e.g. manager.window.showMaximized() for QtAgg, manager.window.state('zoomed') for TkAgg, and manager.frame.Maximize(True) for wxAgg.It is depend on your matplotlib backend. For Qt you may write this codeto maximize your plotting window:
manager = plt.get_current_fig_manager()
manager.window.showMaximized()
And read this question: Saving Matplotlib graphs to image as full screen
If you also want to remove tool and status bar, with the full_screen_toggle mode you can prove:
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.rcParams['toolbar'] = 'None' # Remove tool bar (upper)
fig.canvas.window().statusBar().setVisible(False) # Remove status bar (bottom)
manager = plt.get_current_fig_manager()
manager.full_screen_toggle()
