I have installed the 1.5.3 version of Julia and now all jupyter-notebook plots are tiny.  
Can anybody help me?

Hi! You can control the size of the plot with

```julia
plot(x, y, size=(1000, 500))

```

I believe you’re running into a current Plots/GR/Firefox (are you using Firefox) issue - try `plot(rand(10), fmt = :png)`

Yes I am using Firefox. I have run both tests: adding “fmt=:png” the graphic’s size is right.

Thanks Nils

Your are probably using an old GR version. What does `Plots.GR.version()` say?

Please update using `ENV["GRDIR"]=""; ] build GR`.

I have updated to ““0.53.0.post57”.  
Now, I have another problem with plot(rand(10),xlabel = “t”, ylabel=”\theta")

Sorry. There is a conflict concerning the character encoding within GR. I will try to find a solution. In the meantime, please use LaTeX or UTF-8 strings, e.g. `ylabel=L"\theta"` or `ylabel="θ"`.

The problem is fixed in `0.53.0.post60`. We will probably tag a new release this week.  
Until then, an update using `ENV["GRDIR"]=""; ] build GR` should help.
