[Matplotlib-users] picture quality of the figures

[Vedpathak, R. IN B. S. <Ram...@si...>]

Hello,
=20
We are using matplotlib version 0.8 (matplotlib-0.80.win32-py2.2.exe).

The plots are saved as .png, but we feel the quality of this picture is
not so good. (not good resolution supported).
Is there anyway by which we can improve the picture quality? Say like by
using .jpeg.=20

We tried to save the plot as .jpeg as mentioned on the site
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-savefig)  ,
but we get error "IOError: Do not know know to handle extension
*.jpeg...."
Does it mean that matplotlib 0.8 does not support jpeg format?

If anyone has an idea about this then please do let us know.

Thanks in advance
