Hello folks 👋  
I have to use VScode in wsl and when plotting, it seems that the plots appear very small in the plots windows in VSCode Here is a screen shot:

Even after changing size to `(900,900)`. It is still very small.

IIRC, it was not very small like this before.  
The version of Plots.jl I am using is:

```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> st Plots
      Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
  [91a5bcdd] Plots v1.20.0

```

How can this be fixed?

Can you check which version of GR you have installed and update it if possible? IIRC this is an issue for some specific GR versions.
