Re: [Matplotlib-users] multiple page postscript

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

Hi Gabriele,

Matplotlib currently does not do this. The problem, as I understand it (and 
there are others on this list that may correct me), is that there is a lot of 
information that needs to be written into the prologue at the beginning of 
the file, like font information. This makes it difficult to append to an 
existing file, since each page description could require different 
information in the prologue.

As an alternative, you could create multiple eps files. In the process, you 
could write a script that generates a simple latex document and embeds your 
eps files. Then you could convert that into PS. There are examples of this in 
"Python Scripting for Computational Science" by Hans Petter Langtangen.
