[Matplotlib-users] Default dpi for savefig

[David H. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm a little bit lost with respect to setting the resolution of images saved
in png.
The  matplotlibrc file sets the dpi to 80, but the default keyword argument
of savefig is set to 150. Thus, changing the rc setting
to dpi=300 does not modify savefig's default behaviour.  Is there a way to
set a default dpi that would be used when calling savefig ?

Thanks,

David

Have you tried modifying the rc setting 

savefig.dpi       : 100      # figure dots per inch

Should work..
