matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 2)

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 understand it should not be rasterized at all, but the fonts,
sizes, coordinates, etc should be embedded in the postscript. I.e. not the
way MPL produces .eps. Does this sound right to you?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Forum,

I just had an article accepted and they want to have the figures in vector
EPS format with text that can be re-sized. I have produced all my figures
with matplotlib. However, it seems that MPL rasterizes everything in the
production of its EPS output. Is there any way to get around this without
learning a new plotting package?

Cheers,
Matt

Whenever I try to build from source, I get an error saying that it can't find vcvarsall.bat. Here are the last few lines of the output from DOS:

Now I can't import pyplot. Any thoughts?
