I am having trouble to export a LogLogPlot to which I have added a
legend with ShowLegend.
I'm doing something like:
plot = LogLogPlot[function[t], {t,tmin,tmax}, PlotOptions]
plotWithLeg = ShowLegend[plot, directives, LegendOptions]
Export["plotWithLeg.eps", plotWithLeg]
plotWithLeg is displayed correctly on the screen, however it produces
an empty file when exported, regardless of the output format (eps,
pdf, png, jpg, nothing works). Substituting ShowLegend for a call to
PlotLegend inside LogLogPlot does not work either.
Exporting the plot without legend _does_ work.
Changing LogLogPlot by Plot, adding the legend and exporting does
_also_ work.
I believe this is due to some problem between ShowLegend and
logarithmic plots, a problem that manifests itself when exporting, not
when rendering on the screen. Can anybody think of a workaround to
this? [Adding the legend with a command other than ShowLegend, some
trickery before exporting, etc.]
Thanks in advance,
Lucia
