[Matplotlib-users] pdf/eps export; dotted line plot shows random markers on the line
Hey everybody,
I am trying to create a simple plot with a dotted line. However,
depending on the export format I use, I get random markers on the
line. This effect appears for pdf but not for png. When I use eps and
convert the eps file to pdf I also receive the random markers.
I use the following script to generate the plot. The resulting graph
on my system is attached to this mail.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import numpy as np
a = np.linspace(0.,10.,100)
b = np.sqrt(a)
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
fig.add_subplot(ax)
ax.plot(a, b, linestyle = ':', color = 'k', linewidth = 3)
fig.savefig('broken.pdf')
My system is:
Linux 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am using matplotlib version '1.1.0'.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

No extra "stuff" in the png and pdf plots in my case (changed the hash-bang
line):
Mac 10.7.4 w/ python and matplotlib from (not too recent) Fink:
i python27 1:2.7.2-5Interpreted, object-oriented language
i python27-shlibs 1:2.7.2-5Interpreted, object-oriented language
i matplotlib-base 1.0.2-1 Plot data on map projections with matplotlib
i matplotlib-py27 1.1.0-2 Pure python 2D plotting with a Matlab syntax

For me your PDF is OK, nothing "broken". I get exactly the same (mpl 1.1.0, on Windows XP, Python 2.7). Your problem has probably nothing to do with matplotlib...
