[Matplotlib-users] Agg eps and bounding box / OO problems

[<bh...@de...>]

With the script

----
from matplotlib.backends.backend_agg import FigureCanvasAgg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle
fig =3D Figure()
canvas =3D FigureCanvas(fig)
ax =3D fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([.5,.7],[1.5, 2.5])
ax.add_artist(Rectangle((.5, 1.5), .2, 1, fill=3DFalse))
ax.set_aspect("equal")
canvas.print_figure('test.eps')
----

I get a file 'test.eps'. Using matplotlib 0.87.7 the PS bounding box
of the generated plot is far to wide. Is this a problem with my script
or a Problem of FigureCanvasAgg (and FigureCanvasPS)? What can I do to
get a tight bounding box?

Further, when I leave out the "ax.plot" line, the generated figure is
missing the "Rectangle" and is showing only a pair of axes counting
from 0 to 1. Is that a bug of matplotlib or something I have to fix in
my script?

Thanks
Berthold
