[matplotlib-devel] matplotlib2tikz, somewhat matured

2010-05-08 Thread Nico Schlömer

2010-05-06 Thread Nico Schlömer
Hi, today I bumped into a weird issue when including a PNG generated by imsave into a LaTeX document via \includegraphics. pdftex's very own Taco Hoekwater then noticed that the image is actually HUGE in what the specified dimensions concern
