Problems seeing a png created with matplotlib in firefox

Hi,

I have trouble seeing a png image that I have created with matplotlib
(0.99.1.1) in my firefox browser( 2.6) and I am not sure if it is a
browser issue of a bug in matplotlib.

Here are two examples of the image:

This is the original image created with the script in the same
directory (and which I can't see. I don't neither get a warning nor an
error, just a bnalk screen:
http://atlas3.atlas.aei.uni-hannover.de/~dietz/Test/test.png

while this one I have created with converting to jpg and back to png.
The sizes are different, and this one I can see in my browser
http://atlas3.atlas.aei.uni-hannover.de/~dietz/Test/test2.png

Could the png file be corrupted? In other browsers or tools like
kview, okular etc I have no problems to open/print both images.

Thanks
  Alex

I can see both images in my browser, they look (virtually) identical.

Hi,

thanks for testing. So it looks like a bug in firefox from 3.5.8 ->
3.6, or do you see any strange things happening in the file to create
this image?

Cheers

Strange -- I can see it fine in firefox 3.5 on Solaris. Haven't seen
this problem before.

Tested here on firefox 3.6 (Ubuntu) and I cannot reproduce what you
described.

Looking at the files, the only difference is that one png has an alpha
channel while the other one doesn't. The one that caused you problems is
the one that has the alpha channel.

You should probably check external dependencies like libpng (1.2.37-1 here).

Hi,

that is very interesting. So what about the following image:

test_large.png

which has been create with the exact same code. Does this file has an
alpha channel? Because this file I can see clearly on my browser.

Cheers
