Symbols are missing from eps format

When I save a figure in eps format, the symbols that have no facecolor are not showing. This happened after I updated to the latest version.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3],[2,1,3],'ko',markerfacecolor='None')
plt.plot([1,2,3],[2,1,3],'k')
plt.savefig('not_working.eps')
plt.savefig('working.eps')

I would expect empty circles (as will show if you save it as png), but they are missing when saved as eps.

Unfortunately I don't remember the last version I was using and was working before updating.

  • Operating system: Windows 7
  • Matplotlib version: 2.2.2
  • Matplotlib backend: Qt5Agg
  • Python version: 3.6.5
  • Spyder version: 3.2.8

I did a batch update and didn't notice this only a week after.

@meylone Thank you for the ticket :).

I can reproduce the issue with both 'Qt5Agg' and 'TkAgg' on Fedora 28 and Python 3.6 from conda, on Matplotlib 2.2.2 from conda, but not on master. So it looks like it has been fixed. Let's see if I can find when it was done.

For the record, I used the following snippet

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use("Qt5Agg")
#mpl.use("TkAgg")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.plot([2, 1, 3], 'ko', mfc='None', label="mfc='none'")
ax.plot([1, 3, 2], 'ko', label="default mfc")
ax.legend()

fig.savefig('example.eps')
fig.savefig('example.png')

Found it! Seems similar to #10921, which has been fixed by @jklymak in #10935. Closing the current issue but anyone feels free to reopen if you think it should have been closed.

Looks like it has already been backported to 2.2.x and will be in the 2.2.3 release.
