Hello,
I'm trying to efficiently generate a large number of nicely-formatted
plots for publications with mathematica. Historically I'd used the
ExtendGraphics`Ticks` package. This package used to work fine whether
run noninteractively or in the front end. Now, however, I'm having
problems when this is run noninteractively:
Example:
<<ExtendGraphics`Ticks`
apjTickFunction[min_,max_]:=
TickFunction[min,max,MajorStyle->{Thickness[0.001]},
MinorStyle->{Thickness[0.001]},MajorLength ->{0.06,0},
MinorLength ->{0.02,0}];
p0 = Plot[x, {x,0,1}, FrameTicks->apjTickFunction];
Export["tmp.eps", p0, "EPS"];
This code produces two different graphics, one with ticks and one
without, if run on the front end or directly from the kernel.
However, by using AbsoluteOptions[p0], it seems that both plots do
indeed generate the same intermediate ticks before rendering.
I noticed that the DisplayFunction is slightly different, but I
believe that's just related to the new syntactic sugar for displayed
plots in the front end.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?
