This is starting to get off topic from matplotlib, but it is relevant to creating good EPS figures...
When using ImageMagick to transform from to an EPS, your results will be much improved by using the parameter "-density 288". This increases the resolution (and thus results in a much bigger file). I find this is adequate for producing publication quality plots. > > Quick warning about ImageMagick and EPS files (and any other > > vector-based graphics format)... > > > > ImageMagick is a raster-based system.

The result looks horrible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
