For example, suppose I want the [simple line demo](http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery//tutorial_simple_line/index.html) in the Makie docs rendered into a 5000x3000 PNG:

```julia
using Makie

x = range(0, stop = 2pi, length = 40)
f(x) = sin.(x)
y = f(x)
scene = lines(x, y, color = :blue; resolution=(5000,3000));
Makie.save("out.png", scene)

```

The resulting PNG is cropped to 3844x2124 and shows just the lower left of the full scene. (And those dimensions are a bit weird considering I have a standard 4K screen at 3840x2180.)
