[yt-users] EPS.single_plot() interface

[John Wise]

Hi John,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I've done the same 
workaround with eps_writer before, and it's a pain!  It seems like the 
eps_writer was never compatible with off-axis projections.  Plus, it 
hasn't been updated to be compatible with PlotWindows.

I've made the necessary changes to eps_writer so it works with plot 
windows now.  I've tested it with slices, projections, off-axis 
projections, and phase plots, and they now work as desired.

I've submitted a PR, but if you want to test it out before it's merged, 
please go ahead!

hg pull -r 49a5b85 https://bitbucket.org/jwise77/yt-clean
hg update

Let me know if this works for you.

Cheers,
John
