Darren,
It was my impression that savefig() only supports jpeg and png format. From the docs:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-savefig
savefig(*args, **kwargs)
SAVEFIG(fname, dpi=150, facecolor='w', edgecolor='w',
orientation='portrait'):
Save the current figure to filename fname. dpi is the resolution
in dots per inch.
Output file types currently supported are jpeg and png and will be
deduced by the extension to fname
Also I guess I'm not clear if saving to PS/EPS format actually creates a line drawing/ vector image or
just creates a bitmap and encapsulates the bitmap in the PS/EPS format. I'm looking to
be able to save as a line drawing or vector-type format.
Thanks,
Eli

Hi Eli,
Have you tried simply calling savefig('file.eps')? You shouldnt need to worry
about switching backends.Darren

Hello all,
First let me say how much I appreciate matplotlib and the matplotlib
community.I currently have a wxPython application which embeds a matplotlib window
using the WXAgg backend. I use this
application to generate plots based on some simple user inputs. After I
get the plot looking the way I like, I have
a "Save Plot" button which basically calls
self.canvas.print_figure(filename,...). This works great for saving to
JPG and PNG format. What I'd like to do is be able to save to PS or EPS
format. Is this possible?It seems like there is an switch_backend() function which might be of help.
Before I go down that route, I'd like to know
if it is possible to use the WXAgg backend for normal plotting to the
screen and then switch_backend(PS), redraw the
plot, save using print_figure() or savefig() to a *.ps file, and then
switch_backend(WXAgg) to resume interactive
plotting on the screen.Thanks,
Eli
