Dear Chris, That site really cleared the basic resolution stuff up for me, and it was pretty much as I expected. Your remark about how imshow() works with SVG made me wonder. Might it be that the output of imshow() is set in pixels so that when I increase the dpi of the total figure, the subplots decrease in their width and height as measured in inches? (Using the extent parameter to rescale the bitmap?) This could explain the 'inverse' effect I experienced when increasing dpi. It is not limited to SVG by the way, EPS and PNG have the same problem.
I got into these problems after upgrading from Ubuntu 6.06 to Ubuntu 6.10, thereby also upgrading from MPL 85.2 (?) to MPL 87.5. In the previous version the SVG outputted would point to a PNG for each subplot created with imshow(). Now the bitmaps seem to be included in the SVG itself. Perhaps there is a way to increase the dpi of the included bitmaps? (Or, if all else fails, some flag to get the old behavior back?) Thanks very much, Marius.
