Hi
I am having reccurrent problem generating postscript files using savefig.
I am basically generating a figure with lots of small thumbnail images
(loaded with mpl pcolormesh and contour) and some overimposed text.
When I do:
savefig("myfig.eps")
it takes quite a while, and makes rather big figures (> 20 Mb). But then
I cannot load that eps file anymore with any of the software I have
tried (okular, display, gimp...). The file seems corrupted and when I
e.g. try with display it tells me:
Error: /limitcheck in --def--
Operand stack:
p1c_37d --nostringval--
Execution stack:
%interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval--
--nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval--
--nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1878 1 3
%oparray_pop 1877 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- 1861 1
3 %oparray_pop 1755 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval--
%errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval--
--nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval--
Dictionary stack:
--dict:1172/3371(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)--
--dict:75/200(L)-- --dict:65534/65534(L)--
Current allocation mode is local
Last OS error: 2
Current file position is 14073283
GPL Ghostscript 8.64: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Any help with this please!?
THANKS!
Eric
