Hi Everyone, I use Mathematica to create ListPlots, which I then save as eps files to touch up in Illustrator. I'm having a problem with the data points, which Illustrator sees as single point paths with no fill and a 2 point stroke. The single pont paths have round cap ends, so they look like circles. My problem comes in when I incorporate the plots into other programs and make PDFs. It seems like this round cap option does not get translated properly, and I end up with invisible single points. This even happens when I do "save as PDF" in Illustrator, although Apple's Preview seems to convert the EPS files to PDFs proplerly. I'm looking for some solution to this, like a way to convert the points to circles. I've found I can rasterize the points to make them portable, but then the files get huge and they aren't vector graphics. I can't outline the path, because it's only a single point. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Tim
