There are two kinds of images in matplotlib -- AxesImage and
FigureImage.  By definition, the AxesImage is interpolated to fit into
the Axes box.  You can control the aspect ratio of the interpolation,
but it will be interpolated.  FigureImage, on the other hand, performs
a pixel dump to the postscript canvas at the location you tell it to
-- see examples/figimage_demo.py.  It should like you are more
interested in the latter.

If the figure image doesn't work for you, describe your use-case in
some detail and why neither work and we'll see if we can accommodate
it.
