Greetings matplotlib users, Firstly, thank you so much for a great python plotting library. I use it daily and find the library very intuitive :) My question deals with generating raster images at multiple scales without heavy code modification. My work flow is to generate two versions of the same plot, one thumbnail (~ 320x320) and then one 'full size' around (~ 800x800) in PNG format for the web.
My current methodology is to generate a postscript file and then send it through ImageMagick's convert to generate the two different sized images. I find that this works 'good enough for me', but I often run into problems when I have transparency in the plot and that information is lost in the translation of formats... I also get fairly bulky file sizes, but that is probably my fault for not using the proper convert flags, anyway... I have tried messing around with the dpi and figsize settings to the initial: fig = plt.figure() and fig.savefig() , but I can't seem to get similiar quality to my hacky method outlined above. Many times, the fonts look nasty :) Any tips or tricks to make this happen? Thanks again and I sincerely apologize if I missed a FAQ item , etc on this... daryl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
