Yes, the DPI i'm using is 300, and I tried to change it to 600, or
1200, but I can't see much difference.
Word seems to make PNG's very fuzzy when it needs to rescale them. Two
options I can think of are:
1. Try to size the figure so that Word imports it at 100% without
scaling (play with the following)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,2,3])
fig.set_size_inches((4, 3))
plt.savefig('figure.png', dpi=600)
2. Save your figures as PDF's and view at large magnification in Adobe
Reader, then use the image select? tool to copy the image to your
clipboard. In Word Edit-Paste-Special as an enhanced metafile.
Cheers,
Scott
