Description
In #2657 we worked on saving plots to different file types, like SVG, JPEG, etc. One thing that we surfaced when reviewing that work is that the dialog doesn't make a ton of sense for PDF. Probably the dialog needs to respond to the file type that is currently chosen so we can present options that make sense. Like Tim says here:
it probably makes sense to have width/height specified in inches.
