Now, I would think that when I run the following code, I'd get a 20x20 pixel image I could copy as a PNG with all the pixels corresponding to the given(although in this case random) data. Instead, I get a 27x27 image where the data is in a smaller 24x25 box!

ComplexArrayPlot[RandomComplex[{0, 1 + I}, {20, 20}], 
 PlotRangePadding -> None, ImageSize -> {20, 20}]

I'm trying to create detailed images of fractals without any junk like borders and antialiasing clogging up my images. How can I get Mathematica to stop with this inanity and output the desired image?

  • $\begingroup$ @Syed My Version is "13.1.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (June 16, 2022)". Try right clicking the image, selecting "Copy Graphic", and pasting in Microsoft Paint or something. The dimensions are wrong. The raster data appears to have the correct data size though. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I get a rectangular image with a dark gray border, with the top left pixel being white. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Syed Same except there's no white pixel. I wonder if Mathematica has PNG construction functionality. $\endgroup$

I was able to extrapolate the answer from this post. If you have a plot t1 and plug t1[1] into Image and export it, it gives the proper image in the new file. If instead you try to copy the image from Mathematica, it glitches out. It's a really odd inconsistency which should probably be fixed so it mimics the PNG created by the Export function.

t1 = ComplexArrayPlot[RandomComplex[{0, 1 + I}, {20, 20}]]
Export["Wolfram Mathematica/pic.png", Image[t1[[1]]]]
