Hi, I have some figures prouced from Matlab using imagesc command. An example is here: http://acrids.robince.net/robince/simA_theta1.pdf
This should be rectangular grayscale blocks. It shows up correctly in acrobat. However in Preview and Skim the image is very blurred - the boundaries between the rectangular regions are no longer clear. Preview is much worse than skim (completely smoothed image) - with Skim you can make out some of the structure but it is blurred. A more knowledgable friend informs me: > Seems matlab tries exporting the centres of imagesc graphs as a teeny > tiny bitmapped graphic which then scaled up. This is pretty much the > definition of a pathological case of bitmap scaling for any algorithm > - with more pathology the smarter the algorithm - and betrays > imagesc's origins as part of the bitmap manipulation toolchain. Since there is a considerable difference between Preview and Skim I was wondering if there might be a hidden option for pdfkit somewhere that could cause either Preview or Skim to display the image properly - or whether anything else might be done to get either application to show imagesc plots correctly?
