Hi Jae-Joon, thank you very much for taking the time and for your suggestions. Indeed the different distillers yield different output as you can see in the attached pics. Does this mean that this behaviour is due to tex / the installed distiller or are different distillers differently handled in matplotlib? Especially the different used papersize A4/Letter vs. small region around text seems to be remarkable.
best regards
Matthias
