You can choose the kind of interpolation that gets used:
* interpolation is one of: 'nearest', 'bilinear', 'bicubic', 'spline16', 'spline36', 'hanning', 'hamming', 'hermite', 'kaiser', 'quadric', 'catrom', 'gaussian', 'bessel', 'mitchell', 'sinc', 'lanczos', 'blackman' if interpolation is None, default to rc image.interpolation. See also th the filternorm and filterrad parameters If you don't want interpolation at all, just solid filled squares, then use interpolation='nearest'.
