Depending on the purpose, you may want to output your figures at different resolutions. Resolution is measured as the number of color pixel dot per inch (dpi). You may adjust the resolution of a figure output by specifying the dpi parameter in the pyplot.savefig() function, for example, by:

plt.savefig('output.png',dpi=300)

While a higher resolution delivers better image quality, it also means a larger file size and demands more computer resources. Here are some references for how high ...
