Re: [Matplotlib-users] EPS files with LaTeX are invalid
I tried to take a look but, pstopdf in my linux box works okay (it
converted test_tex_r8216.eps fine also) and I'm afraid that I may not
be able to track this down.
Just in case, can you check if using a different distiller makes any
difference? I believe you're using a ghostscript (or none where
ghostscript is force for usetex=True). See if using xpdf works.
mpl.rc("ps", usedistiller="xpdf")

The ps backend is quite complicated in how final output is produced (psfrag, distiller, pstoeps), and this often messes up the initially specified bbox and results in incorrect ones. While I think I fixed some of the issues, there still could be some left. And I hope someone who is more knowledgeable than me take a look. For the reported issue, I haven't take a time to investigate (but I will soon), but I doubt if it is an issue of pstoeps function (as I said, it seems to write a matching save-restore pair).

Re: [Matplotlib-users] EPS files with LaTeX are invalid
I just tried running epstopdf, and this does work correctly, so maybe now the
only issue is that Preview.app on mac always uses pstopdf, even for eps files?
(which then is not a matplotlib issue) I also checked that giving the file the
extension '.ps' produces a ps file, and that does open correctly in Preview.app.
Cheers,
Tom

Hello,
I upgraded to the latest svn version of matplotlib today, and found that
eps files produced with the system latex now seem to be invalid. For
example, if I run the following script
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl
mpl.rc('text', usetex=False)
fig = mpl.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
fig.savefig('test_notex.eps')
mpl.rc('text', usetex=True)
fig = mpl.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
fig.savefig('test_tex.eps')
and try running pstopdf on them (on MacOS 10.6) I get the following
air:air tom$ pstopdf test_tex.eps %%[ Warning: Empty job. No PDF file
produced. ] %%
air:air tom$ pstopdf test_notex.eps air:air tom$ So the file with the
system LaTeX enabled no longer works. ps2pdf still works, but the error
with pstopdf is important, because for example Preview.app on mac relies
on pstopdf, not ps2pdf.
I tried this on two different computers under MacOS 10.6, and tried with
ghostscript 8.70 and 8.71 installed, and the problem occurs either way.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I submitted a bug report a
little while back about this

Re: [Matplotlib-users] EPS files with LaTeX are invalid
At least on my Linux box with gs 7.07, I have to use epstopdf (not
pstopdf) to convert an eps file to a pdf. ps2pdf does work for both .ps
and .eps files however.
It looks like the 0.99.1.1 file is not in fact an .eps file, but a .ps
file, (it certainly hasn't had the ps2eps function run on it) and I
think it was probably a bug (now fixed) that 0.99.1.1 was writing out
the wrong kind of file.
It seems the relevant change is in r8102: "fix some issues in the bbox
after the postscript distiller is run". This change removed a commented
out call to ps2eps. I'm a bit out of my depth here as to why that
change was made, and why .eps files seemingly haven't been true .eps
files for a long time prior to that change. Anyone else?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] EPS files with LaTeX are invalid
I just had a quick look, but while extra "restore" could be a problem,
the erroneous one may not be the one at line 1073, but the one at line
1066.
I believe that the "restore" at 1073 is written by "pstoeps" function
in backend_ps.py, and this function did write a matching "save" at
line 11.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] EPS files with LaTeX are invalid
It seems that removing 'restore' on line 1073 of the test_tex_r8216.eps file
fixes the problem, although I don't understand postscript well enough to
understand why that is.
