Hello, I'm confused by the dpi property of figures that can be set in matplotlibrc or passed to pyplot.figure().
It seems to me that dpi is really a property of the backend, not the figure, and the only place to specify it ought to be when saving into a bitmap file. For example, when showing a figure on the screen, I really want matplotlib to use the physical dpi of the monitor rather than any default value. When saving the figure in some vector graphics format, I don't see what the meaning of the dpi is at all. Am I missing something?
