hello,
I am creating a "big" drawing ( figure(figsize=(16,20)) ), and when I try to save it in eps/ps form, it mishandle the overall size and only save a portion of the drawing. Saving in png or jpg works fine though.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Johann
On my system, you cant create a figure that is larger than the monitor size,
unless I use a non-gui backend like agg or ps. It doesnt matter whether I
save an eps, png, or jpg. Also, make sure your postscript viewer is not
truncating the page due to an inappropriate page size setting.

Well, matplotlib starts with a canvas bigger than my screen (vertically only) but in the end it seems to resize it so everything fits in. I can see the whole drawing and the bottom toolbar. Again, saving in png or jpg works perfectly.... and of course I checked that gv was not cutting the graph when displaying it.
I just tried to use GTK as a backend, and ipython tells me that there are "non implemented" errors on my script....
I attach it here.
thanks!

I was having the same problem, but the recent xpdf thread pointed me to a/the solution. I was able to successfully run your script by outputting as eps instead of ps (which produced truncated output, as you were experiencing).

hi there,
out of idea I decided to download gsview and try to open my eps file with it. It still showed it truncated but this time gsview has resizing capabilities, and I could actually reformat the plot so that it shows the whole figure and then save it. Given the fact that Matthew could not reproduce my issue and noticed that the ps figure was looking slightly different, I have the feeling that somehow ghostscript is not behaving correctly on my system, though I have no clue why or how. Is anyone expert in these matters around?
thanks a lot,
Johann

Hi Johann,
Just make sure you are using the same version (GPL version 8.54?) as the
others who are not having problems. That advice is about the best I can do.
This mailing list is not for ghostscript support.
