Thank you for the hint. I think you mean, one can write (a complete example to be reproducable) ```julia using Plots;gr() # default window size x=rand(101); y=rand(101)+10; z=rand(101)+100; foo=plot(x,y,z,size=(450,300)) png(foo,"Try_save_small_png_v003_plot(x,y,z,size=(450,300))")...

As addendum to the high resolution of png files. according to the table http://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/supported/#keyword-arguments the backend 'gr' does not support the keyword 'dpi'. Could this be one reason ?

After some more and deeper investigations, the gr-backend reacts on the plot attribute dpi, example: ```julia foo=plot(x,y,z,dpi=300) png(foo,"Try_save_small_png_v004_plot(x,y,z,dpi=300))") ``` This results in a png-file which is 3 times larger for...

Proposal of an extended section of 'savefig' in file 'outpout.md' I have no experience with pull requests, ... as I'm new to github and the related workflow. In a fork...
