How to avoid to produce a big eps file with large entries?

Hi,
I am plotting a 2D histogram with about 500K entries. I use

to get an eps file. However, this eps file is huge, size: ~4MB! So I am wondering if I have other choice to produce a small one. Or alternatively, there is a command available to change its size.

Thanks,
Zhiyi.

By default TH2s are rendered as scatter plot. Change the draw option
to “box”, “cont”, etc to save space.

Also, try to produce a PDF file instead, they much more compact.
can->Print(“myfile.pdf”)
