hello, i'm using matplotlib on os x and am having issues with plots of large data sets. i have some plots which contain about ~10000 points and the pdf files generated bring preview.app and quicklook to their knees when they open the pdf files.
here is a small file that reproduces my issues. at 1000 points it is snappy and at 10000 it is a pig. is there a setting to downsample or otherwise compress? best, drs import matplotlib.pyplot import scipy x = scipy.rand(10000) matplotlib.pyplot.plot(x) matplotlib.pyplot.savefig('rand.pdf') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
