Hi Folks-
I'm working on a plot using an Aitoff projection, and I've noticed a couple
of problems:
1. There seems a problem with the positioning of contour labels in some of
the projections. In the Aitoff, Lambert, and Mollweide projections, the
some of the contour labels appear to be shifted. In the Hammer projection
of my example one of them (0.524) looks to be slightly off, but it's close
enough. The polar projection is fine.
2. When saving the output in eps format, the Aitoff, Hammer, and Lambert
projections are producing postscript that cannot be interpreted by
ghostview.
I've copied a minimal script to demonstrate the problem at the end of this
email.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Z = np.zeros([len(Y), len(X)])
# compute the contour field
for x in range(0,360,1):
for y in range(0,180,1):
Z[y,x] = arccos(sin(pi/4)*sin(Y[y]) +
cos(pi/4)*cos(Y[y])*cos(-90*pi/180 - X[x]))
f=[];
ax=[];
for projection in ["hammer", "aitoff", "lambert", "mollweide", "polar"]:
f.append(plt.figure())
ax.append(plt.subplot(111, projection=projection))
plt.grid("on")
Cplot = plt.contour(X,Y,Z, np.array([30.0, 60, 90, 120, 150])*pi/180)
plt.clabel(Cplot, inline=1)
plt.savefig("contourLabels{}.png".format(projection))
plt.savefig("contourLabels{}.eps".format(projection))
