 George perfectly well.

 tkagg passes its printing off to agg, which passes both *.ps and *.eps
 to backend_ps with no further processing.  So if there is a problem,
 it should show up on a pure PS backend, eg

 import matplotlib
 matplotlib.use('PS')
 from pylab import figure, show
 fig = figure()
 ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
 ax.plot([1,2,3])
 fig.savefig('test.ps')
 fig.savefig('test.eps')


 Is anyone seeing problems with this?


John,
I tried this and, again, the ps fails but eps is OK.


 There is, however, a known bug when using tkagg from pylab, after you
 click the save button pylab loses the current figure.  This appears to
 be a tkinter bug and I reported it on python-list and go no response.
 If this is the cause of your problem, it is not about PS vs EPS vs
 PNG, but about which filetype you try and save first.  The first one
 would work, and subsequent ones would fail.

This certainly wasn't the problem. Originally I tried saving png first
(OK),  ps (not OK),
eps (third time lucky, OK.)

Thanks for responding so quickly. George.
