title: How do I increase Bar Chart size with Matplotlib
body: <p>I'm having trouble increasing the size of my bar chart. I am using a template and can't figure out how to increase the size. Currently my bars and labels are overlapping as shown.
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7iElf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7iElf.png" alt="Image" /></a></p>
  <p>Any ideas on how to fix?</p>
  <p>Template Code:</p>
  <pre><code>import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  import numpy as np
  
  
  labels = ['G1', 'G2', 'G3', 'G4', 'G5']
  men_means = [20, 34, 30, 35, 27]
  women_means = [25, 32, 34, 20, 25]
  
  x = np.arange(len(labels))  # the label locations
  width = 0.35  # the width of the bars
  
  fig, ax = plt.subplots()
  rects1 = ax.bar(x - width/2, men_means, width, label='Men')
  rects2 = ax.bar(x + width/2, women_means, width, label='Women')
  
  # Add some text for labels, title and custom x-axis tick labels, etc.
  ax.set_ylabel('Scores')
  ax.set_title('Scores by group and gender')
  ax.set_xticks(x)
  ax.set_xticklabels(labels)
  ax.legend()
  
  ax.bar_label(rects1, padding=3)
  ax.bar_label(rects2, padding=3)
  
  fig.tight_layout()
  
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
