Um, yeah. So my response got bounced because of the attachment. Take 2: For some reason my script bombed when I switched to the Agg backend, trying to display to the screen (it said Figure has no method show())
So I output the plot as both a PDF and a PNG (still having backend: agg in my rcfile) and in both of those cases, irregular gaps are visible between the polygons making up the filled contours. This wasn't the case with my previously installed setup. It looks as if for some reason the vertices of the filled polygons are being calculated differently from different sides of the same contour, leading to overlap in some places, and gaps in others. You can download the PDF version (in which the exact geometry is much clearer). from: http://zaneselvans.org/dropbox/LinDensity_Grid.pdf Zane On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 5:51 AM, Michael Droettboom<md...@stsci.edu> wrote: > So you see this behavior if you switch to the Agg backend?
