colorbar edges in white for PDF output

It is possible I have spoken too soon. It certainly fixes the specific issue I was having, however I am now getting serious issues with a plot that uses the basemap toolkit. The contours and coastlines extend way beyond the plot boundaries. I’ve put links to before and after plots from something I’m working on, I don’t have time to do a clean test script tonight though.

I don’t know if this is a matplotlib issue or something to do with basemap… some thought is probably required on this one.

Hi all,

        I just noticed that colorbar edges are drawn in white

when output in PDF and black when output in PNG. A small
test script is attached along with the output to show the
difference.

        I'd be interested in knowing if others can reproduce

this? I’m using mpl-1.3.x (updated 5 minutes ago) on 64-bit
Ubuntu 12.04.

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks. I think the clipping is getting thrown away by what I just did. It should be an easy fix.
