[yt-users] unnecessary margin between multi panels with eps_writer

[Wise, John H]

Hi Junhwan and Nathan,

I can confirm that this is a bug.  It’s a pretty serious plotting artifact, arising from a mismatch of the sub-panel boundaries and plot size.  I suspect that it might come from changes in PlotWindow, but that’s only a guess.  

My plate is pretty full for the rest of the week, but I can look at it after that.

Thanks,
John
