Hi, When I use matplotlib for a scatter plot with both dots and connecting lines, the exported eps file is huge, if the distances between many points are small. I think of this as a bug, since no preview tiff is included in the generated eps and a variety of text processing applications (including OpenOffice) crash when I try to import the eps. Ghostscript takes forever, too. Is there anything that I can do in order to export reasonable eps files?
I am using: python 2.4.2 matplotlib 0.87.2 numpy 0.9.8 with Linux The following small example illustrates the problem: -- import pylab,numpy,random random.seed() x=[random.gauss(0,1)/float(i)**2 for i in xrange(1,1000000)] X=numpy.array(x,numpy.Float32) pylab.plot(X[1:],X[:-1],"-", c="#eeeeee") pylab.plot(X[1:],X[:-1],"xk") pylab.show() -- The resulting eps file: -rw-r----- 1 xx users 212190257 Jul 4 09:39 image.eps Thanks a lot in advance Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
