Hi, For a contour plot I use the option 'manual=True' in clabel to set the location of the labels manually.
Before the plotting command I set some figure properties using rcParams as explained on this site: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/LaTeX_Examples My Problem is, that the manual-option changes the figure properties and when I use savefig I get a very different result compared to 'manual=False'. Is there some way to prevent this or alternatively set the properties after manually setting the labels? Thanks in advance, Valentin Here is an example. ===================================== from math import pi import numpy as np import pylab as pl ####################### fig_width_pt = 246.0 # Get this from LaTeX using \showthe\columnwidth inches_per_pt = 1.0/72.27 # Convert pt to inch golden_mean = 1 #(sqrt(5)-1.0)/2.0 # Aesthetic ratio fig_width = fig_width_pt*inches_per_pt # width in inches fig_height =fig_width*golden_mean # height in inches fig_width = fig_width fig_size = [fig_width,fig_height] params = {'backend': 'ps', 'axes.labelsize': 10, 'text.fontsize': 10, 'legend.fontsize': 10, 'xtick.labelsize': 8, 'ytick.labelsize': 8, 'figure.figsize': fig_size} pl.rcParams.update(params) ax = pl.axes([0.15, 0.15, 0.8, 0.8]) dummy = np.linspace(0, 2*pi, 101) s, t = np.meshgrid(dummy, dummy) f = np.sin(2*s)**2* np.cos(t) cs = pl.contour(s, t, f) pl.clabel(cs, manual=True) pl.xlim(0, 2*pi) pl.ylim(0, 2*pi) pl.savefig('test.png') ===================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
