Hello,
The script pasted below plots a square array. The (very small) output
PDF is attached to this posting. For reasons I do not understand,
there's a fine additional border immediately at the top and bottom of
the array.
If the commented-out line of code is removed, the strange border
disappears.
Now you will ask, why do I create the figure in this way and don't
simply use the commented-out line? The answer is that this script is a
simplified version of the function "map" from
http://git.kwant-project.org/kwant/tree/kwant/plotter.py?id=v1.0.0
There, we need to create a figure also when pyplot has not been
imported.
If we would import matplotlib.pyplot, the user of our package could not
freely choose the matplotlib backend himself.
Thanks,
Christoph
