f = Figure(resolution = (1000,700))  
specifies the size of the displayed image on the screen in pixel coordinates,

Someone else asked an almost identical question around the same time. This should address yours too:

Thank you for your suggestion and code fragment.  
I’ll reply in the other thread to avoid duplication.
