On a windows computer, I found these instructions for inserting a pdf file into powerpoint: [1] These instructions indicate that you can not simply insert a pdf picture, as is done on a Mac, which might explain why he was selecting a region of the figure in a pdf viewer. Chao, I'm not sure if the dpi setting or png format for savefig helped you. In the future if you have to cut out a part of a pdf file, and if you are using Adobe reader, then there is a setting in the preferences for customizing the resolution of the clip you are selecting. -Sterling [1] http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/insert-pdf-file-content-into-a-powerpoint-presentation-HA102809687.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
