title: Jupyter notebook- how to scale plot to fill entire width of page? (while preserving aspect ratio)
body: <p>I have a Jupyter/IPython notebook with a graph. </p>
  
  <p>I am using the following code to display the graph, while keeping the aspect ratio square so the graph does not get distorted. </p>
  
  <pre><code>fig = plt.figure()
  ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
  ax.set_aspect('equal')
  ax.plot(x,y)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works, but I want to scale the graph so its width takes up the entire width of the notebook page. How can I do this?</p>
