Re: [Matplotlib-users] eps and useTex: tick labels drawn over legend box

[Jae-Joon L. <lee...@gm...>]

I'm not 100% sure on this but it seems that this is a limitation of
"psfrag" that the ps backend relies on. The ps backend first produces
an eps file without TeX labels, and these TeX labels are put on the
eps file with latex+psfrag. And it seems  these TeX labels are always
above the contents of the eps file.

Unfortunately, I don't think this can be easily fixed.
