[SciPy-user] Broken pipe for xplt.eps

[Arnd Baecker]

Hi,

I think it is the problem which is discussed in a thread this March
(Subject: "xplt.eps question/problem?  ").

If so, there are two options:
  a) add a noepsi=1 option, i.e.: xplt.eps('plot1',noepsi=1)
  b) quoting myself from the above thread:
     "it is just a missing space in front
     of the "-e" of ps2epsi [...]

     So anyone seeing this error hopefully can fix this by
    just adding this space..."

Hope this helps.

Arnd
