I am using the ACM SIG Template for a conference paper (a two-column document). And I'd like to insert several figures plotted by matplotlib.

I was wondering what is the width I should set for fig.set_size_inches in matplotlib.

fig = matplotlib.pyplot.gcf()
fig.set_size_inches(w, h, forward=False)

Is it equevilent to columnwidth in ACM SIG? However, I didn't find the definition of columnwidth in sig-alternate-05-2015.cls.

$ grep 'columnwidth' sig-alternate-05-2015.cls 
  \hrule width .5\columnwidth   % (was .4) updated Gerry March 20 2007
        \hsize\columnwidth \@parboxrestore
    \hsize\columnwidth \@parboxrestore

use \showthe\columnwidth and TeX will stop and show the value in pt, divide by 72.27 and that is the width in inches – David Carlisle May 25 '16 at 16:19
thx. the result is 240.0/72.27 = 3.32. – SparkAndShine May 25 '16 at 16:45
