RE: [Matplotlib-users] savefig(epsfilename) Bug on XP

[Randewijk P-J, M. <pjr...@su...>]

Dear Kristen,

Make sure that in Gsview, EPS Clip is "ticked"

See under Options -> EPS Clip

The problem is that the EPS picture in not an A4 (or letter) canvas but
on a bigger canvas...

By editing the EPS, you'll find a line that read something like, e.g.:

...
%%BoundingBox: 162 744 1171 1753
...

The left boundingbox margin is set at 1171/72=3D16.26in (413.1mm), much
wider than an A4 (or letter) Media type


You can also set the Media size to, say, A0...

See under Media -> A0 or User Defined...

But for an EPS picture, EPS Clip would suffice...


Regards,

Peter-Jan


PS:

Because of the width of the EPS picture in LaTeX, you would need a line
like, e.g.

...
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=3D16cm]{myepsfile.eps}}
...

To scale the EPS picture for A4 paper (depending on you margins or
number of columns etc.)

Hi again

This solved the problem, however, the figure is
placed in the corner of the eps files, implying that
only the bottom left corner of the figure is actually
visible. Any idea why ?

Dear Kristen,

Try this one.

I'll put a post on the mailinglist as well.

Kind regards,

Peter-Jan

Hi folks

I can still not succeed saving my figures in ps or eps format with the
new ps backend file you send out. I'm using python 2.4, mpl .84. Have
tried with both Numeric and numarray.
