We could probably be of more help if you posted examples of your "ugly" and "nice" pngs. For now I'll take a guess: maybe what you are seeing is an effect of the resolution and figure size? You can pass a dpi kwarg to the savefig command, or you can set it in your rc settings. Also, you can set the figure size by doing "figure(figsize=(x,y))", or you can change the default figure size in your rc settings. How does your postscript output look? That format would not be influenced by resolution. Darren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
