[matplotlib-devel] savefig to pdf and ps don't respect mew=0 or mec

[Mike K. <mc...@gm...>]

for this code:

clf()
plot(arange(5),arange(5), 'y.', ms=30.0, mew=0, mec='r')
draw()
savefig('mew.pdf')
savefig('mew.ps')

The pdf and ps show a marker edge even though the gtkagg window doesn't 
(neither do the png or svg savefigures).
The marker edge in the ps is black instead of red.

I haven't done a git-bisect, but
f1388ee3c3a5c72af00701e5a623545f0df2f426 from April 11 seems to have the 
pdf problem but the ps doesn't have a marker edge.

Mike,

I was recently tracking down a somewhat similar problem a few days ago.  It
turned out not to have been related to mpl at all, but rather a bug in the
PDF viewer.  Which viewer are you using so that I can make sure that I
check something different?

Both Skim 1.3.18 and Preview on OSX 10.6.8 show this. I'm using gv 3.7.1 
as a postscript viewer.

Could you send the PDF and a screen capture of what you see as a png so we
can check?  The mac's Preview program was the one that I found to be faulty.

Attached. Also put the viewed pdf on the right side of the screen.

Mike,

I have confirmed that the problem exists.  I have also replicated the
problem on my own machine.  Could you file a bug report for us, please?

Thanks,
