I am trying to save a matplotlib 2d array image with an overlaid contour as an eps file. The contour appears to be shifted with respect to the image underneath in the eps file, particularly when I zoom in on the image. This shift is not noticeable in the plot within matplotlib.
I am using imshow to display the image. The contour is created by plotting a list of closely-spaced x,y coordinates. The attached file matplotlib.png is a screenshot of the (zoomed-in) image as displayed by matplotlib. The attached file epsfile.png is a screenshot of the (zoomed-in) eps file. When I save this image as an eps file, it is actually 1 of 20 subplots and the shift is noticeable in each subplot.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Just as a wild guess, could this actually be an issue with how imshow uses the upper-left corner for (0,0)? I have seen 1-pixel shifts before, but this shift is a little dramatic and I am left wondering if what we are really seeing is that the contour that is desired should actually be fliped in the y-axis?
Maybe you could try another example where you try to draw a contour further away from the center of the image and see if it still goes in the spot you expect it to be?

No, I don't think the issue is a flip in the y-axis. I have a number of different examples of this, and many in which the contour is an ellipse so I can tell that the overall positioning is correct. It seems like something is going wrong only when I save the image... Thanks for the suggestion though!

I tried a simple array (see the code below) but cannot reproduce the
problem you reported.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
arr = np.zeros((11, 11), dtype="d")
arr[3,3]=1
im = plt.imshow(arr, interpolation="nearest", origin="lower")
cont = plt.contour(arr, levels=[0.5])
plt.savefig("a.eps")
Do you still see the shift with the above example code?
And what version of matplotlib are you using?
If possible, please post a complete script with the data (use a
mock-up data if you want)?

That looks fine to me too, but if you plot that as one subplot in a 5x5 array
of subplots or more, then you can see the shift I am talking about in the
eps file. Example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
arr = np.zeros((11, 11), dtype="d")
arr[3,3]=1
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(10,10,1)
im = plt.imshow(arr, interpolation="nearest", origin="lower")
cont = plt.contour(arr, levels=[0.5])
plt.savefig("a.eps")

I still don't see it (a capture of my eps output is attached).
Can you post your output (original eps file that shows the shift)?
Again, what is your matplotlib version?

You version of mpl is pretty old. You’ll need to upgrade.
