Re: [Matplotlib-users] Problem with .png files?

[Wayne E. Harlan]

I would like to follow up on my first response to Bill.  It probably 
should be a new thread, but I'll start here.  When png files are saved 
with a DPI=300 argument, and I open them in the Gimp, the dpi is only 72 
(default ?).  As I understand it, the dpi setting in the graphics file 
tells the application opening it how big to display it.  When I use 
savefig with a DPI=300 and the plot figure I am saving was created with 
figsize=(6,4.5) I expect the figure to open in word or swriter at the 
size I specified (6" by 4.5") with the appropriate number of pixels.  
However, at present, that does not happen.  The number of pixels in the 
figure is correct but I have to resize it manually to get the right 
size.  Can this be fixed ?

Thanks,

Wayne
