[Rd] png and resolution (PR#8066)

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

Where did you get `result' from?  (What program spells that badly and 
where does ppi come from?)

Your last example gives for me (using ImageMagick)

identify  -format "%wx%h res: %x" Rplot001.png
1920x1920 res: 944.88 PixelsPerCentimeter

which is correct.

I believe it is your PNG reader that is buggy, not R.
