Re: [Matplotlib-users] Resolution of SVG output

[Christopher B. <Chr...@no...>]

I wish I could help more, but I really have no clue about embedding 
images in SVG -- I haven't even used imshow() at all.

A bitmap has a particular size -- period -- it can be re-scaled by 
interpolating, etc, but it has a given native size in pixels.

I think what may be confusing you is that if you take a given bitmap, 
and increase it's dpi -- all you've done is take the same pixels and 
tell whatever is doing your rendering that each pixel is smaller (so the 
whole image is smaller in length units (inches, etc). For example:

if you have an 800x600 bitmap at 100dpi, you have a 8"x6" picture. If 
you make it 200 dpi, you now have a 4"x3" picture, with smaller dots.

Does that help any?
