So what is figure.dpi used for? And I need to ask, why
> doesn't savefig default to the Figure dpi?
Well, it's used to control the figure dpi <wink>. It is used
everywhere, it's just that savefig changes it when saving and then
restores it. Basically, it is done this way to support a default
screen dpi and a default hardcopy dpi.

Fair enough, but my expectation is that when I called savefig, I'd get the same resolution as the screen, unless I specified otherwise. If savefig used the Figure dpi as the default, but allowed it to be overridden (like it does) then we could all be happy. However, if there's one thing I've learned about usability, it's that different people have different expectations, so what you have might fit other peoples expectations better, and we can all do what we need to do.
