Hi list.
I generate some png images using matplotlib, and get very different
results depending on figuresize
···
__________________________________________________________________
from pylab import figure, plot
import pylab as plt
import numpy as np
figure()
plt.subplot(2,1,1)
plot(np.random.rand(10),'o')
plt.subplot(2,1,2)
plot(np.random.rand(10),'o')
pic_name='fit_rates1.png'
path_name='/home/petro/tmp/'
plt.savefig(path_name + pic_name)
__________________________________________________________________
the code above generates the following image:

now if I increase a figure size parameter:
__________________________________________________________________
from pylab import figure, plot
import pylab as plt
import numpy as np
plt.ioff()
from matplotlib import rcParams
golden_mean = (np.sqrt(5)-1.0)/2.0 # Aesthetic ratio
fig_width = 5.6 # width in inches
fig_height = fig_width*golden_mean # height in inches
rcParams['figure.figsize']=fig_width, fig_height*3
figure()
plt.subplot(2,1,1)
plot(np.random.rand(10),'o')
plt.subplot(2,1,2)
plot(np.random.rand(10),'o')
pic_name='fit_rates2.png'
path_name='/home/petro/tmp/'
plt.savefig(path_name + pic_name)
__________________________________________________________________
the result looks strange like this:

Has anyone experienced behaviour like this?
Thanks.
