The same figure in PNG or PDF format works fine. I also saved a bar chart in EPS that worked.\n\nI have verified that this happens in both OS X Mavericks and Mountain Lion. It doesn't matter whether I install using pip or homebrew. If I downgrade to matplotlib 1.3.1 it works fine.\n\nBelow is the code I was trying:\n\n``` python\nimport matplotlib\nmatplotlib.use('Agg')\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt \nimport numpy as np\nfrom mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap\n\nplt.figure()\nm = Basemap(projection='npstere',lon_0=-270.,boundinglat=30.,round=True)\nm.drawcoastlines(linewidth=1)\nm.drawmapboundary(linewidth=1)\nm.fillcontinents(color='silver')\nm.drawmeridians(np.arange(-360,1,60))\nm.drawparallels(np.arange(30,90,30))\n\nplt.savefig('test.eps')\nplt.savefig('test.pdf')\nplt.savefig('test.png')\n```\n\n[TAC edited for formatting]\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bryan-woods","@type":"Person","name":"bryan-woods"},"datePublished":"2014-09-16T17:32:03.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":14},"url":"https://github.com/3523/matplotlib/issues/3523"}
