Hello matplotlib developers, I have implemented "svg.image_noscale" feature for ps and pdf backends. I think that resampling/scaling should be avoided, when vector format can scale image itself.
One advantage is that original image can be recovered from final file. Moreover as it is vector format it should be dpi independent and always provide maximum possible quality - that's original data. As for svg backend I have commented some transformation changes which I don't understand and which result in misaligned image and axes. Without it the misalignment is still there but smaller. I have also removed MixedModeRenderer from svg as it conflicts with "svg.image_noscale" and does not seem to be used. As last change, I restored commented self.figure.canvas.draw() in FigureCanvasBase.print_figure as I got complaints about "I/O operation on closed file" when I tried to "draw_artist" in my animation using blit technique. (It used cached renderer that no longer existed, self.figure.canvas.draw() updates this cache) Further more please consider set_animated(False) on all artists before saving hardcopy and restore animated state after (animated artist should be saved, although they can not animate in hardcopy) Thanks for reviewing my suggestions Jozef Vesely [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_svg.py 2008-08-03 20:15:03.000000000 +0200 +++ backend_svg.py 2008-11-12 10:08:54.000000000 +0100 @@ -254,9 +254,9 @@ transstr = '' if rcParams['svg.image_noscale']: trans = list(im.get_matrix()) - if im.get_interpolation() != 0: - trans[4] += trans[0] - trans[5] += trans[3] + #if im.get_interpolation() != 0: + # trans[4] += trans[0] + # trans[5] += trans[3] trans[5] = -trans[5] transstr = 'transform="matrix(%s %s %s %s %s %s)" '%tuple(trans) assert trans[1] == 0 @@ -579,9 +579,9 @@ self.figure.set_dpi(72.0) width, height = self.figure.get_size_inches() w, h = width*72, height*72 - - renderer = MixedModeRenderer( - width, height, 72.0, RendererSVG(w, h, svgwriter, filename)) + + + renderer = RendererSVG(w, h, svgwriter, filename) self.figure.draw(renderer) renderer.finalize() if fh_to_close is not None: --- backend_ps.py 2008-08-03 20:15:03.000000000 +0200 +++ backend_ps.py.new 2008-11-12 10:04:33.000000000 +0100 @@ -400,7 +400,13 @@ bbox is a matplotlib.transforms.BBox instance for clipping, or None """ - + if rcParams['svg.image_noscale']: + trans = list(im.get_matrix()) + numrows,numcols = im.get_size() + im.reset_matrix() + im.set_interpolation(0) + im.resize(numcols, numrows) + im.flipud_out() if im.is_grayscale: @@ -413,8 +419,12 @@ xscale, yscale = ( w/self.image_magnification, h/self.image_magnification) - - figh = self.height*72 + + if rcParams['svg.image_noscale']: + xscale *= trans[0] + yscale *= trans[3] + + #figh = self.height*72 #print 'values', origin, flipud, figh, h, y clip = [] --- backend_pdf.py 2008-08-03 20:15:03.000000000 +0200 +++ backend_pdf.py.new 2008-11-12 10:06:30.000000000 +0100 @@ -1226,9 +1226,17 @@ gc.set_clip_rectangle(bbox) self.check_gc(gc) + if rcParams['svg.image_noscale']: + t = list(im.get_matrix()) + numrows,numcols = im.get_size() + im.reset_matrix() + im.set_interpolation(0) + im.resize(numcols, numrows) + h, w = im.get_size_out() imob = self.file.imageObject(im) self.file.output(Op.gsave, w, 0, 0, h, x, y, Op.concat_matrix, + t[0],0,0,t[3],0,0, Op.concat_matrix, imob, Op.use_xobject, Op.grestore) def draw_path(self, gc, path, transform, rgbFace=None): --- /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backend_bases.py 2008-08-03 20:15:03.000000000 +0200 +++ backend_bases.py 2008-11-12 10:22:38.000000000 +0100 @@ -1313,7 +1313,7 @@ self.figure.set_facecolor(origfacecolor) self.figure.set_edgecolor(origedgecolor) self.figure.set_canvas(self) - #self.figure.canvas.draw() ## seems superfluous + self.figure.canvas.draw() ## not superfluous return result def get_default_filetype(self): ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
