Try using png rather than svg with Plots

[jlperla]

There are two issues with svg:

• It requires you to trust a notebook in order to correct display it. Jupyter caches that trust, but otherwise it is a pain
• I think it may create very large figures.

So one solution is to try to use png with plots. To do that, anywhere there is a using Plots change it to

using Plots
gr(fmt=:png)

I think! Check with one of the notebooks that has a large aiyagari.ipynb to see if it helps with the size.

Ask around to see what will decrease the notebook size before making the change.

The gr(fmt=:png) fixes the trust issue. I monkeyed with the plots settings below but couldn't seem to bring the size down:

default(dpi=30) # Instead of ~100, I believe
default(size=(400,200)) # Instead of ~(600, 300), ^

OK. We might need to post something on slack with a minimal notebook

@jlperla Nevermind, I forgot to make jupyter before ./run-notebooks.sh aiyagari.ipynb. Using DPI 25 and dimensions (300, 200) brings the size down to only 16.9 MB, but the plots are absolutely tiny. So I suspect something else is going on here.

Will close this for now, and open a separate issue to investigate filesizes.

We should try again in a few days after doing an ] up for the Plots and GR. It could be a weird bug haunting older versions in the manifest.

Sounds good.
