[Matplotlib-users] Question about basic_example_writer.py

[Andreas H. <li...@hi...>]

Hi,

when running basic_example_writer.py, I get *.mp4 files with a canvas
size of 800x600 pixels (at least that's what mplayer tells me). However,
I have trouble understanding where this canvas size comes from. The
example does not explicitly set the dpi or the figure size, and I don't
have a matplotlibrc which changes these settings. So figure.dpi is 80,
and the fig.size_inches is (8, 6). So how come this translates to a
800x600 pixel movie?

Thanks for you insight :)
