Re: [Matplotlib-users] picture quality of the figures

Try changing the resolution to a value of 300 or 600 dpi. This should =
give you very high quality figures when using the Agg backend. The =
standard is 80 which is ok for screen display but for printing purposes =
you should use a higher value. See =
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-figure (dpi =
keyword argument).

  Subject: [Matplotlib-users] picture quality of the figures


  Hello,

  We are using matplotlib version 0.8 (matplotlib-0.80.win32-py2.2.exe).

  The plots are saved as .png, but we feel the quality of this picture =
is not so good. (not good resolution supported).
  Is there anyway by which we can improve the picture quality? Say like =
by using .jpeg.=20

  We tried to save the plot as .jpeg as mentioned on the site =
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-savefig)  , =
but we get error "IOError: Do not know know to handle extension =
*.jpeg...."
  Does it mean that matplotlib 0.8 does not support jpeg format?

  If anyone has an idea about this then please do let us know.

  Thanks in advance

  Best Regards,
  Rameshwari
