combine eps files into a ps file ?

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,

I am using matplotlib to visualize my data, but the data sometimes have several sets.
Can I plot each set as usual to a EPS file, and combine these EPS file into a single ps file,
each page of this ps file is only one EPS file I got before.

Thanks.

On a Linux box:
   psmerge -ooutfile.ps figure1.eps figure2.eps

Anyway, I guess you need an external tool to do this ...

It is probably overkill, but I use Latex for this. You can fairly
easily have Python generate a text file that is the Latex input,
including captions for each figure. And then call latex using
os.system.

This might get you a psmerge for windows:

I recently asked a question along the same lines…
MATLAB has a command, print, and it allows you to output a figure to a file, such as a .ps file and it has a switch ‘-append’ so that you can append multiple plots to the same file.
Is there a switch for the pylab command, ‘savefig’ to do the same thing? There does not seem to be an equivalent print command.
