In Python, how can square-shaped images be saved using matplotlib? -

my goal create number of matplotlib plots , arrange them in large array. purpose, need ensure output images of matplotlib plots square. how can done?

here's segment of code:

figure = matplotlib.pyplot.figure() figure.suptitle(label, fontsize = 20) #figure.set_size_inches(19.7, 19.7) matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(     variable_1_values,     variable_2_values,     s          = marker_size,     c          = "#000000",     edgecolors = "none",     label      = label, ) matplotlib.pyplot.xlabel(label_x) matplotlib.pyplot.ylabel(label_y) legend = matplotlib.pyplot.legend(     loc            = "center left",     bbox_to_anchor = (1, 0.5),     fontsize       = 10 ) print("save {filename}".format(filename = filename)) matplotlib.pyplot.savefig(     filename,     bbox_extra_artists = (legend,),     bbox_inches        = "tight",     dpi                = 700 ) 

i know how set figure square, need output image set square. conceptually simple taking default output image , extending background necessary make image square.

not sure if looking for, produces 600x600 pixel png image me.

import numpy np import matplotlib.pyplot plt  = np.random.normal(size=1000) b = np.random.normal(size=1000)  fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6,6))  plt.plot(a,b,'g.') plt.xlabel("x axis label") plt.ylabel("y axis label") plt.title("random numbers in scatter plot")  fig.savefig("test.png")
