Re: [Matplotlib-users] best format for MS word?

OK, I'm attaching a file that converts svg to emf, which is based on librsvg and cairo. I've spent the all night working on this, but the result is still not satisfying. The converted emf file is even worse than the png file produced from matplotlib. I'm not sure if it's because I did something w

[Matplotlib-users] clipping and linewidth/circle radius

I'm trying to deal nicely with the clipping that happens when, for example, a line has data that is inside its clipping box, but the linewidth forces part of the line to be drawn outside of the clipping box. This is visible on the spine placement demo at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/exam

Yes, the DPI i'm using is 300, and I tried to change it to 600, or 1200, but I can't see much difference. Best Regards Shixin Zeng On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 9:28 PM, Eric Firing wrote: > Shixin Zeng wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Could someone tell me what's the best format that matplotlib can >> produce

Re: [Matplotlib-users] best format for MS word?

Yes, with large pictures, PNG is good enough, but when scaling down, it looks a bit fuzzy. Best Regards Shixin Zeng On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 8:05 PM, Alan G Isaac wrote: > On 9/1/2009 8:22 PM Shixin Zeng apparently wrote: >> Yes, I tried OOo. But its pdf/ps/svg importer is not good enough > > >

How do I utilize pyEmf? AFAIK, it's used by the old emf backend in matplotlib, which is not maintained or functional any more. Best Regards Shixin Zeng On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 8:14 PM, Andrew Straw wrote: > Shixin Zeng wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Could someone tell me what's the best format that matplo

Hi, Could someone tell me what's the best format that matplotlib can produce for insertion to MS word? I'm working on a paper using MS word. I used matplotlib to produce the pictures in "png' format, but my professor doesn't satisfy with the quality of the pictures, he asks me to do it in "emf" fo

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Placing vector eps graphics

Thanks all for the fast reply. The tip with PyX is working fine! So its very easy to combine different eps files! If someone is interested, try something like: from pyx import * c = canvas.canvas() c.insert(epsfile.epsfile(0, 0, "1.eps")) c.insert(epsfile.epsfile(0.5,0.2,"2.eps",scale=0.5)) c.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Placing vector eps graphics

You may use PyX for compositing two eps images. It is not a gui application like inkscape. But it is one of the best option I know for eps compositing. http://pyx.sourceforge.net/manual/epsfile.html Regards, -JJ On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 11:09 AM, jakobg wrote: > > Hi there, > > I want to place a

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Placing vector eps graphics

Unfortunately, matplotlib doesn't support importing vector images of any sort. Your best bet is to, as you suggest, do the compositing in an external tool, such as Inkscape. Version 0.46 and later claim to support PDF import, you could try that. (Though I haven't tried it with a matplotlib p

Hi there, I want to place an eps graphic I created in Inkscape in a plot. The final image is supposed to be a vector eps as well. I looked up the forum but just found the option with the Image (PIL) library which obviously rasterizes my vector image. And I use the Tex option so I cannot just save

Ah. I wasn't quite clear on what you were trying to do before. There's actually a bit of "magic" in there that automatically adjusts the xlabel so it is lower than the xtick values. (If you rotate the xtick values, you can see this in action). So it actually does position things how you want

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Unknown Path Error

Without a some example code to reproduce the bug, it's going to be very difficult to track this down. The "pick_event_demo.py" is working for me, and it flows through the offending method without problems. It's possible that your code sets things up in a way we didn't anticipate and it worked
