[matplotlib-devel] figsize anomaly in pdf

Hi,

using the attached script to generate one pdf and one png of the same 
figure. I get a 800x600 pixel png which is expected for a 8x6in figure 
at 100 dpi. But for the pdf I get 11.11x8.33in as determined from the 
document properties dialog in acrobat reader. Looking at the file 
information on a mac it reports the size as 800x600 for the pdf.

Doing some more digging it turns out acrobat reader reports a correct 
size for the figure if I set dpi=72 when calling savefig. Perhaps there 
is some dpi information that needs to be saved with the pdf file?
