I am making a plot using matplotlib.pyplot imported as PL:

FIG = PL.figure(figsize=(12,8), dpi=150)
AX = FIG.add_subplot(111, aspect='equal', xlim=(lonMin,lonMax), ylim=(latMin,latMax))
PL.contourf(lon, lat, swath, range(2,56,1))
PL.colorbar(shrink=0.8, extend='both', ticks=range(5,55,5))
CNTR = PL.contour(lon, lat, rain, colors='black', linewidths=1)
PL.clabel(CNTR, fmt='%2i', inline_spacing=2)
PL.savefig('swaths_ao.png', bbox_inches='tight')
PL.savefig('swaths_ao.eps', bbox_inches='tight')
PL.savefig('swaths_ao.pdf', bbox_inches='tight')
PL.clf()

The problem that I have is that PL.clabel draws contour labels even outside limits of AX, that is, in the whitespace of FIG. This happens only in .eps file, but not for .png or .pdf. Coincidentally, I need .eps.

Any hints on how to remedy this?

    Sounds like a bug you could file as an issue on Github, but as a workaround, if pdf output looks correct, you could use pdftops (comes with xpdf) and then ps2eps.
