That looks fine to me too, but if you plot that as one subplot in a 5x5 array
of subplots or more, then you can see the shift I am talking about in the
eps file. Example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
arr = np.zeros((11, 11), dtype="d")
arr[3,3]=1
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(10,10,1)
im = plt.imshow(arr, interpolation="nearest", origin="lower")
cont = plt.contour(arr, levels=[0.5])
plt.savefig("a.eps")
