Render images at higher resolution​

You can render matplotlib images in Python notebooks at double the standard resolution, providing users of high-resolution screens with a better visualization experience. Set one of the following in a notebook cell:

retina option:

Python
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

from IPython.display import set_matplotlib_formats
set_matplotlib_formats('retina')

png2xoption:

Python
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'png2x'

from IPython.display import set_matplotlib_formats
set_matplotlib_formats('png2x')

To switch back to standard resolution, add the following to a notebook cell:

Python
set_matplotlib_formats('png')

%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'png'
