{Arggghh, not this again!!!}

An image doesn't have a resolution. An image has pixels. A rendering engine will take those pixels, and put them into print-pixels at a particular resolution.

There's no such thing as a "72-DPI image". The DPI makes sense only when the bits from that image are finally rendered.

If you want a 3inch-square image on screen, generate 200-ish pixels in each dimension. If you want a 3-inch-square image when printed at 300dpi, then generate 900x900 pixels. Just do the math. It's not the responsibility of any of the graphics packages to do the math for you.

And dare I say again, "computer images do not have a DPI". Sigh.
