matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

I have version 1.2.x of matplotlib. The minimal example shows the case
below. The back wall will lose its lines. Is there a reason for this? Is
there a transparent layer there so eps has to put it as a solid wall? If
so, is there a way to remove that transparent layer?

Pdf and the other backends have no problem exporting correctly.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
plt.savefig('testing.eps')

Chao,

You are right, fig.add_subplot does not support precise positioning.  Why don't you send a picture of a sample layout you have obtained with add_axes?

Dear Sterling,

thanks for your answer. The idea is that I would like to add a subplot with
precise position, as in the method of fig.add_axes?
Does fig.add_subplot support this, I tried
fig.add_subplot(position=(0.2,0.2,0.1,0.1)) but it does not work...

thanks!

Chao
