Exporting Gizmo plot as eps file

Share icon

Hi,

I have problem regarding eps export of Gizmo plot.
I did a Gizmo plot of scatter and path plots, but when I want to export as eps file I got message "EPS format will not succeed if Gizmo0 uses any form of transparency (alpha blending)".
Now, I don't know where is the problem or how to circumvent this problem.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter,

Dejan
Hello Dejan,

Gizmo generates bitmap images of various resolutions which include the possibility of using transparency or alpha blending. The EPS export consists of an attempt to generate Encapsulated Postscript graphics based on the state of the OpenGL engine while it is constructing the Gizmo display. Since EPS does does not have equivalent support for transparency modes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_%28graphic%29#Encapsulated_Po…) Gizmo alerts you that this may be a problem.

In general it is best to export Gizmo graphs as bitmaps -- you just have to adjust the resolution to your requirements.
