Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

Mac is kind of my blind spot, thanks for pointing out that EPS is a viable format there.

Windows does not handle the PS part of EPS for screen display. You will only see a preview image, and only if it was
embedded into the EPS. Printing is be fine though, if you have a PS printer.
