Re: [Matplotlib-users] vector EPS
Matplotlib will output Type 42 fonts if the rcParam ps.fonttype is set to 42. Type 3 is the default because it greatly reduces filesize (it embeds only a subset of the font), particularly with large Unicode fonts like Vera Sans.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] vector EPS
Hey Matt, Hello list, I'm sorry, I'm not an expert in eps-graphics. For me the final pics look good and I have no idea what is different between matplotlib eps-files and eps-files generated somewhere else. Maybe someone has an idea.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] vector EPS
I believe that MPL produces vector files. If you want to check by yourself I suggest that you zoom at will on an eps file. If you cannot observe rasterization artifacts it should be right. There is a rasterized option that will affect part of a plot but will leave the text and axes vectorized.

Is there any way to get around this ... hi matt, i think i know maybe what you mean: if i save a matplotlib figure as eps and then use pstoedit for further processing with xfig, the ticklabels are somehow not correctly recognized as text. as far as i understand, this is an issue with the mathtext capabilities. you can see what i do as workaround in http://www.thamnos.de/repos/sebtools/sebtools.main/sebtools.py (class 'Fig', style 'f') unfortunately, i do not recall all details any more. if i was to look into that again, i would start playing with the text.usetex parameter. i would expect this to be enough to render linear axes correctly (although not as nicely). if you have logarithmic axes, it gets more complicated as something like 10^5 IS a mathtext. i've therefore made a class MyLogFormatterMathtext which outputs the labels very ugly but as normal text. i hope that something along these lines can help you, i was using pstoedit a lot to see whether the text is recognized as text or not. good luck, sebastian.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] vector EPS
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/usetex.html Postscript options In order to produce encapsulated postscript files that can be embedded in a new LaTeX document, the default behavior of matplotlib is to distill the output, which removes some postscript operators used by LaTeX that are illegal in an eps file. This step produces results which may be unacceptable to some users, because the text is coarsely rasterized and converted to bitmaps, which are not scalable like standard postscript, and the text is not searchable. One workaround is to to set ps.distiller.res to a higher value (perhaps 6000) in your rc settings, which will produce larger files but may look better and scale reasonably. A better workaround, which requires Poppler http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ or Xpdf http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf, can be activated by changing the ps.usedistiller rc setting to xpdf. This alternative produces postscript without rasterizing text, so it scales properly, can be edited in Adobe Illustrator, and searched text in pdf documents. fwiw, Alan Isaac -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
[Matplotlib-users] vector EPS
Hi Forum, I just had an article accepted and they want to have the figures in vector EPS format with text that can be re-sized. I have produced all my figures with matplotlib. However, it seems that MPL rasterizes everything in the production of its EPS output. Is there any way to get around this without learning a new plotting package?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] vector EPS
Hi Matt, I cannot see any difference between matplotlib generated eps and others. I used the code below to generate the attached eps. Maybe you could be more specific in what is rasterized in the wrong way. By the way what version of matplotlib you are using? Kind regards, Matthias import matplotlib matplotlib.use(PS) # using PS-backend (non-interactive) import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.linspace(0.0, 2*np.pi, 200) plt.plot(x, np.sin(x)) plt.savefig(my_test.eps) On Thursday 21 January 2010 07:50:07 Matthew Czesarski wrote: Hi Forum, I just had an article accepted and they want to have the figures in vector EPS format with text that can be re-sized.
