Jennifer-the white lines appear when opening the .pdf in Preview (as you mentioned), but also in Powerpoint and Google Chrome. Are you implying that the white lines are unavoidable (for a .pdf) except when using more sophisticated software such as Adobe Pro
and/or those used by production teams in publication?</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
So essentially to avoid these white lines for Powerpoint presentations, etc, I should use a .png or similar? The only headache here is the different looks of .png versus .pdf so this would require editing the plot specifications when going back and forth.</div>
