Re: [Matplotlib-users] rcParams['figure.dpi'] has no effect?
Daniel, Did you try saving the figure with same dpi ?.

Hi Daniel, As Bala alluded - there's a difference between display dpi and the file saving dpi. Your change to rcParams only affected the displayed resolution, not the resolution of saved files. Quoting from .matplotlibrc # the default savefig params can be different from the display params # Eg, you may want a higher resolution, or to make the figure # background white #savefig.dpi : 100 # figure dots per inch So try playing around with that parameter (which is what you're doing if you call plt.savefig('name', dpi=300) best, -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7 signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
