[Matplotlib-users] bug for savefig to eps in the latest version of matplotlib

[Xu, Bin]

Dear Ben Root,

Thanks for your suggestions. Here, I used "plt.style.use('classic')", 
but the created eps figure was still similar to previous one or even 
larger... Incidentally, the matplotlibrc I used is the default 
matplotlibc in my version 2.0.0.
