<pre wrap="">Hi,
I have a problem saving eps files in certain conditions. Unfortunately I
am unable to find a simple example which may be very illustrative here
to show you when it works and when it does not.
I include the error message below and so the question is: does anybody
have a hint of why the savefig fails and crashes?
(I tried to close('all'), rcdefaults, etc).
thanks for any input,
Eric

Your figure is too big to fit on a4 paper. b4 paper will be used to
prevent clipping.
