DPI Settings

In addition to the size() width and height parameters, perhaps an (optional) third could be added to specify the DPI of the image? Not sure of the maths involved (dealing with inches == yucky), but it would be nice of the image were displayed on-screen at the width and height (after being scaled down) while SaveFrame(), etc. saved with the DPI specified.
 
Or, in other words (I don't feel I'm being very articulate tonight), on-screen you see a nice anti-aliased, scaled down version, but saved frames are ready to be printed at high DPI.

was thinking about implementing something like this, but it's been cut for beta/1.0. it's fairly complicated to get it to work properly, so i think we'll put more work into getting postscript/ai/pdf working instead for the hi-res stuff.

i agree. itd be awesome to make highly pixelated animations without having to use rects for each simulated pixel
