First things first -- I haven't succeeded in getting the gd backend
compiled on windows.  If you have some expertise here and are willing
to share, or better yet build a gdmodule and gd installer that I can
put on the website, I would be very much obliged!  I contacted the
gdmodule maintainer some time ago over this issue and he had never
built it on windows either.  In my googling, I discovered the perl gd
module for windows and following their lead, succeeded in building gd
lib, but ran into some troubles (can't remember what) building
gdmodule.

Now on to your problem. Is there a typo here?  You say over 60 is
empty and under 65 is ok ??  Can you send me a script which replicates
the problem, with the two calls to savefig, one which has the problem
and which does not.  Then I can begin to diagnose the problem; see if
it occurs under linux, see if it's a gd problem, see if it's a problem
on my end, etc....

Are you using matplotlib + GD for a web app server?

Now on to my specific problem.  I'm using the GD backend on Windows with
Matplotlib 0.41.  If I set the dpi to over 60 the png file that gets
generated is 'empty', it's only 17 bytes long.  As soon as I drop he DPI
to below 65 or so, I get the image file correctly.  This is with the
simple_plot.py example.=20

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, John & Randy.  Matplotlib is working fine, now!
