[Matplotlib-users] Mac OS X - Problem when saving figures in eps

[Benoit D. <ben...@li...>]

Hi,

First of all, I'd like to thank matplotlib developers for  providing us=20
this wonderful library.

It's been a while now I'm using matplotlib  and I'm pretty happy with=20
it.  I used to be a Linux user.  Recently, I moved to Mac (a macbook=20
pro, to be precise).  I succeed to install matplotlib.  Everything is=20
working correctly except the export of figures into eps format (which is=20
important when writing papers with LaTeX).

When I'm trying to save a figure in eps, everything seems ok.  However,=20
it is impossible to open the eps file.  The eps seems to be corrupted. A=20
closer look at the eps file shows that the generated file is 'heavy',=20
i.e., several MB (around 6MB on average).  Note that other output=20
formats are correctly generated.

I don't really understand the source of the problem.  Probably something=20
that is misconfigured.  If somebody has an idea on how to solve this=20
problem, it would be great.

Here is further information on my configuration:
matplotlib data path=20
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-pack=
ages/matplotlib/mpl-data

Thanks in advance for any kind of help

Best regards.
