Re: [Matplotlib-users] Maximized vs non-maximized output

[<kc1...@ya...>]

Okay, I tried saving using the postscript format, and I end up with the "ug=
ly" plot also.   In fact, if I maximize the plot and then save as .ps file,=
 I get ugly plot as well.  So, saving it in PS made no difference - that pa=
rt is correct but it means I end up with the same font, and  dimension as t=
he non-maximized version.=0A=0ASomehow, if I maximize the plot using the sh=
ow() command, maximize it first, then save it (in png format), I end up wit=
h a very nice looking plot.  I just wish there is a simple way to accomplis=
h that in batch mode.=0A=0ARegards,=0A =0A--=0AJohn Henry=0A=0A----- Origin=
