After doing some investigation, I discovered that this problem is reproducible using sample programs such as axes_demo.py. Here are the steps I took:
a) Run axes_demo.py b) Save the plot as eps file c) Start Word d) Insert the eps file e) Print I got a 2 page print: 1 for the plot, and 1 for the error message invalidrestore. Could somebody please try and see if it fails the same on their system? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 4:42 PM > To: matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] invalidrestore > > > Thanks for pointing that out, Eric. > > I try that and it did turn my plot 90 degree.
