Using pylab (matplotlib) in Python, I'd like to make plots for a scientifc conference poster. However, using a decent dpi resolution and the correct size in inches/centimetres, all elements of the plots are way too small to print big. The image will be roughly 30 cm x 20 cm large for an A0 format poster, rather than 15 cm x 10 for a standard A4 page.
Now I'd like to avoid to reserach and adjust all plot properties like text sizes (axes, ticks, legend), line widths, tick sizes and so on individually. Basically I'd like to scale-up all properties as if I had saved the plot with standard settings but later scaled up the entire image (without it getting pixelated).
Isn't there a pre-setting for large print media like this? Or maybe someone can provide a code snippet to set all relevant properties.
Thank you.
