If you've already got the figure created, you can use figure.set_size_inches to adjust the figure size:

fig = matplotlib.pyplot.gcf()
fig.set_size_inches(18.5, 10.5)
fig.savefig('test2png.png', dpi=100)

To propagate the size change to an existing GUI window, add forward=True:

fig.set_size_inches(18.5, 10.5, forward=True)

Additionally as Erik Shilts mentioned in the comments you can also use figure.set_dpi to "[s]et the resolution of the figure in dots-per-inch"

fig.set_dpi(100)
