It seems to me best if there is an option to scale or not; depending on the situation, one might want to generate a file with images downscaled. > > One advantage is that original image can be recovered from final file. > Moreover > as it is vector format it should be dpi independent and always provide maximum > possible quality - that's original data. > > As for svg backend I have commented some transformation changes which > I don't understand and which result in misaligned image and axes. > Without it the misalignment is still there but smaller. > I have also removed MixedModeRenderer from svg as it conflicts with > "svg.image_noscale" > and does not seem to be used. > I think having the option of using the MixedModeRenderer is important in the long run for the vector backends; without it, one can end up with completely unwieldy and potentially unrenderable files. I'm not sure what its status is at present; I think Mike got it working to a considerable extent, but didn't quite finish, and therefore left it temporarily disabled.
