Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem with imshow and ps+xpdf backend

[Lance S. <lan...@gm...>]

I realize this is way outdated now, but I came across the same
problem.  My imshow command would display fine in the
xwindow and all plotting devices except for .ps.  Taking the advice
you guys gave, I tracked it down

to pdftops in the backends.ps.py file.  I changed the command from:

command = 'pdftops -paper match -level2 "%s" "%s" > "%s"' % (ptype,
tmpfile, pdffile, outfile)


to

command = 'pdftops -paper match -level1sep "%s" "%s" > "%s"' % (ptype,
tmpfile, pdffile, outfile)

Now the images look fine in postscript.  For some reason, my pdftops
does not like -level2 postscript.

You are right.  I removed xpdf-utils from my machine and installed

poppler-utils instead (which on Ubuntu conflicts with xpdf-utils). The
result is now correct.
Thanks for your help!!
