Just to elaborate a bit.  The figure size in pixels is the figure size
in inches * the dpi.  you can set the figure size in inches when you
create it

  fig = figure(figsize=(6,8))  # 6x8 inches

and when you save it set the dpi

  fig.savefig('somefile.png', dpi=200)

and you will have a 1200x1600 pixel PNG file.
