Hi I am having reccurrent problem generating postscript files using savefig.
I am basically generating a figure with lots of small thumbnail images (loaded with mpl pcolormesh and contour) and some overimposed text. When I do: savefig("myfig.eps") it takes quite a while, and makes rather big figures (> 20 Mb). But then I cannot load that eps file anymore with any of the software I have tried (okular, display, gimp...). The file seems corrupted and when I e.g. try with display it tells me: Error: /limitcheck in --def-- Operand stack: p1c_37d --nostringval-- Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1878 1 3 %oparray_pop 1877 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- 1861 1 3 %oparray_pop 1755 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1172/3371(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:75/200(L)-- --dict:65534/65534(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 Current file position is 14073283 GPL Ghostscript 8.64: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Any help with this please!?
