[Matplotlib-users] saving images as .pdf files

2007-07-30 Thread J Makem
Hi, I'm havind difficulty plotting saving pylab images in pdf format. At the moment, they are saved as .png files by default using: savefig('name',dpi=300) However, if I try: savefig('name.pdf') The program crashes. Is there anyway of solving this problem? Regards, Jony--
