Matplotlib will output Type 42 fonts if the rcParam "ps.fonttype" is set to 42. Type 3 is the default because it greatly reduces filesize (it embeds only a subset of the font), particularly with large Unicode fonts like Vera Sans. Mike --

You may want to play with the ps.fonttype parameter. If it's type 3 (the default) only the characters used in the plot are embedded in the file. If type 42, the entire font is embedded. That may create the editability that the publisher is asking for. Mike Sebastian Busch wrote: > Matthew C

Sometimes, an EPS contains a rasterised "screenshot" of the actual vector image. E.g. some office products show only the raserised image while editing the document. When printed, the vector data is used. Sven On Thursday 21 January 2010 11:10:00 Pierre de Buyl wrote: > I believe that MPL produc

I believe that MPL produces vector files. If you want to check by yourself I suggest that you zoom "at will" on an eps file. If you cannot observe rasterization artifacts it should be right. There is a "rasterized" option that will affect part of a plot but will leave the text and axes vect

Hey Matt, Hello list, I'm sorry, I'm not an expert in eps-graphics. For me the final pics look good and I have no idea what is different between matplotlib eps-files and eps-files generated somewhere else. Maybe someone has an idea. Kind regards, Matthias On Thursday 21 January 2010 10:37:32

Hey Matthias, Oh, I can make eps files themselves no problem... In as much as I don't really understand the difference between vector and raster graphics, I was told to submit 89mm images (I can make them 89mm, fortunately...), with text that can be resized by the graphics department. For which I

Hi Matt, I cannot see any difference between matplotlib generated eps and others. I used the code below to generate the attached eps. Maybe you could be more specific in what is rasterized in the wrong way. By the way what version of matplotlib you are using? Kind regards, Matthias import matp
