[reportlab-users] Image Flowable and Raster Image Dimensions 1pt != 1px?!

[Rich Andrews]

So far so good with ReportLab/PLATYPUS but I've stubbed my toe one something
and can't find a solution in the doc/forum.  And this is no doubt obvious.

An image, images/SampleGraph1.gif, is created in the filesystem: 50 by 50
pixels; 72 PPI (per GIMP).  Both gif's and png's exhibit the observed
behavior.

A Flowable is subsequently constructed with the image.
Image('images/SampleGraph1.gif', 50, 50)

The image renders in the PDF larger than 50x50 it renders at about 77x77.

So if I construct the Flowable at (50/77) 32.45 x 32.45 things look proper
in the PDF.

Where I'm stuck is that if my image is 72 pixels per inch and there are 72
points per inch, then shouldn't things be 1 pixel per 1 point?  If so, I
should be constructing the Image Flowable with 50x50.

Thanks in advance!
