I now think this is not the dpi issue.
Can you check the size of your figure in mac os X backend, after the
plot is drawn?

print f.get_size_inches()

8x6 inch is the default.

With dpi setting of 300 and bigger, the figure size (in pixel) will be
likely larger than your monitor size. And it seems that in mac os X
backend, the figure gets shrunken to fit the display, effectively
reducing the figuresize.

So, my recommendation is to use smaller dpi for screen display
(default is something like 80), and increase the dpi when saving the
figure ("savefig" has a dpi parameter).
