Hi, I think this is partly because the current clabel implementation of matpltolib does not correctly account the dpi setting. I opened a pull request I think fix this problem. Please try that fix if you can.
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/453 Otherwise, I think you can workaround this by using the default dpi (72 or similar). Regards, -JJ On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 11:28 PM, R.
