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

Can't word handle eps files? In the WYSIWYG it will show the embedded preview as far as I recall, so the image will seem empty if their is no preview embedded or blurry if the preview is blurry. For printing however (including to pdf) it uses the vector version. Of course, eps can't handle tran

[Matplotlib-users] Filling in missing samples by interpolating.

Hello, I've got many 1d arrays of data which contain occasional NaNs where there weren't any samples at that depth bin. Something like this... array([np.nan,1,2,3,np.nan,5,6,7,8,np.nan,np.nan,11,12,np.nan,np.nan,np.nan]) But much bigger, and I have hundreds of them. Most NaN's are isolated betwee

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

No, it doesn't work for me. Either it can't convert, or the quality is pretty low, there are some black blocks in the converted plot. Best Regards Shixin Zeng On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 8:30 AM, Gary Ruben wrote: > I haven't tried it myself, but this converter may do the trick. If it works, > can

No, I'm not scaling it down actually, I use the exact size matplotlib produces. So this is not a problem about scaling. Best Regards Shixin Zeng On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 11:35 AM, Chip Webber wrote: > If Word has problems scaling down the png image for viewing maybe you could > try writing the i

MS simply doesn't lay well with open vector formats, I think PNG with the right DPI, etc is still probably your best bet. Shixin Zeng wrote: > 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
