So, to take an example, suppose I set the figsize=(6,4.5)
and dpi = 80.  Then I will get a 480px by 360px figure.
So if this displays on a 120 dpi monitor it will display
as roughly 4" by 3".  And if I print it unmodified to a 300 
dpi printer, it will only be about 1.6" by 1.2".

Is that about right?
