the tick labels was not getting updated when the dpi changed. (That's
why Rob's workaround worked, because it set the dpi "early enough").
There is still a known dpi bug with custom-shaped scatter plots, but I

I noticed this bug last week (and forgot to send it in until now.. I

Here is the workaround (responsible for my laziness):

# make a figure
savefig(dpi=500)
That is, as long as the figure and savefig dpi match, it looks

In the course of answering a question by Alan Isaac, I saved some

imshow(rand(100,100))
gcf().savefig('f200.png', dpi=200)
This results in tick labels that overlap the image, and it gets worse
with higher dpi. PS backend output is
