I have been trying to customize the frame ticks and frame label around a certain contour plot and am running into very strange behavior where the graphics will get cut off by ImageSize rather than being resized.

In the following example code (more or less minimal), note that all I have changed is a 0 to 0. in the frametick specification.

What's going on here?

Minimal example:

ContourPlot[θ1 + θ2 == 0, {θ1, -3 π/2, π/2}, {θ2, -π/2, 3 π/2},
 FrameTicks -> {{{0, π}, None}, {{-π, 0.}, None}}, 
 FrameLabel -> {"\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(θ\), \(1\)]\)", "\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(θ\), \(2\)]\)"}, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 20}, ImageSize -> 200]

ContourPlot[θ1 + θ2 == 0, {θ1, -3 π/2, π/2}, {θ2, -π/2, 3 π/2},
 FrameTicks -> {{{0, π}, None}, {{-π, 0}, None}}, 
 FrameLabel -> {"\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(θ\), \(1\)]\)", "\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(θ\), \(2\)]\)"}, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 20}, ImageSize -> 200]

  • $\begingroup$ Sure, thanks. I just copied the code from my notebook; is there some easy trick so symbols don't turn into ASCII in general when I do that? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Öskå If you remove the subscripts from FrameLabel, the problem disappears. In this case, the subscripts seem to be needed to reproduce the problem. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ And it works fine for me: here. Thus, Mathematica version? OS? Was it a clean kernel? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Öskå I'm on a Mac, so you might be right that it is Mac-related only. $\endgroup$

There is an Issue on "9.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (January 24, 2013)"

ContourPlot[\[Theta]1 + \[Theta]2 ==

 FrameTicks -> {{{0, \[Pi]}, None}, {{-\[Pi], 0.}, None}},

But note the "." on 0:
