[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib-generated eps files and GSview

[Darren D. <dd...@co...>]

On XP, using MPL 0.61, I created an eps file, and tried to open it with 
GSview 4.6. I get a long message, the end of it is reproduced below. 
Strangely, Adobe Illustrator is able to load the same file, and if I 
save it as an eps from Illustrator, I can then open it with GSview. I 
dont have much experience in this area, and I can work around it, but I 
thought I should report the behavior.
