Following cells are my effort to Export a Plot, then Import it back in
later on and display it (Mac iBook, OS 9.2, Mathematica 4.2):
testplot = Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}, Frame -> True,
DisplayFunction -> Identity]
Show[testplot, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]
DeleteFile[testplotfile]
Export["testplotfile", testplot, "EPS"]
Clear[testplot]
restoredtestplot = Import["testplotfile", "EPS"]
Show[restoredtestplot]
Results:
1) Using default sizing, original test plot looks fine. Restored
plot has horizontal and vertical axis labels "scrunched up"
and overlapping the axis lines. Looks terrible. Also, not quite
the same size as the original plot.
2) Add ImageSize->6*72 option in creating testplot. Plot as
created is enlarged and looks fine. Restored version is
NOT enlarged, and has axis labels even more badly scrunched
up on horizontal and vertical axis lines.
3) Add ImageSize->6*72 option to both initial plot creation
and to final "Show[restoredplot]" command. Restored plot
is now also enlarged, but not quite to same size as initial
plot, and axis labels are still scrunched up, more or less as
badly as before.
This is NOT associated with using window magnifications other than 100%
-- and obviously it's not good performance.
Is this fixed -- I hope!! -- in 5.0?
