one pixel white border : bug ?

Yves_Revaz · September 8, 2011, 3:30pm

Dear List,

when I'm saving a plot with the option facecolor='k',
around my image, there is still a one pixel white border.

How is it possible to remove this ?

try for example this very simple script:
(using )

import pylab as pt
from numpy import *

x = arange(0,10)
y = x**2
pt.plot(x,y)

pt.savefig('qq.png',facecolor='k')

Thanks in advance.

yves

yves,

This might depend on the version of matplotlib and which backend you are using. I currently do not see this white line on my development build of mpl using the GTKAgg backend. What are you using?

Hi Ben,

Thanks for you reply.

I'm using :

import matplotlib

  >>> matplotlib.__version__

  '1.0rc1'

  with the GTKAgg backend.

  I join a zoom of a corner of the image to show that

  there is one white line and a second gray one.

  I tried different backend, with some of them (XV, GTKCairo),

  the white line disapears but in all cases, the gray line is

present .
Do you really have nothing like that ?
Thanks,
yves

Hi Ben,

I'm using :

  '1.0rc1'

That version is over a year old. Since then, I know that some “off-by-one” pixel bugs have been fixed.

  with the GTKAgg backend.

No, not in the latest development version, but I haven’t checked for a gray line. Then again, that may be dependent upon the graphics viewer.

You could try installing v1.0.1 now, or wait a bit for the upcoming v1.1 release.

I hope this helps!

Ben and Yves,

Might this be behavior defined in the matplotlibrc file?

In [21]: import matplotlib as mpl
In [22]: mpl.rcParams['figure.edgecolor']
Out[22]: 'w'
