[matplotlib-devel] SVG dpi

[Steve C. <ste...@ya...>]

I noticed (using GTKAgg) that if I save a png and svg of the same Figure
the width, height of the output files do not agree.

FigureCanvasSVG.print_figure() ignores the dpi argument and prints at a 
fixed dpi of 72, why is that? I know PS has a native dpi of 72, but I 
don't think that applies to SVG. SVG is scalable - its not limited
to a single, fixed, pixel size.

Also the SVG files produces something like
<svg
   width="576.000000"
   height="432.000000" 
    ...
I think the width, height should be integers.
