Thanks for the reply, Darren.
I didn't post the plot because I don't know if the list accept email attachments, and I don't have any space on the web for file sharing.
I'll try to figure out a way to post the plots.
BTW: I called savefig with the filename, and a dpi of 600 and nothing else. May be that was the problem.
Regards,

your "ugly"
and "nice" pngs. For now I'll take a guess: maybe what you
are seeing is an
effect of the resolution and figure size? You can pass a dpi
kwarg to the
savefig command, or you can set it in your rc settings. Also,
you can set the
figure size by doing "figure(figsize=(x,y))", or you can
change the default
figure size in your rc settings. How does your postscript
output look? That
format would not be influenced by resolution.Darren
