Re: [Matplotlib-users] preserving transparency in eps

[Jae-Joon L. <lee...@gm...>]

If you need to stick to eps, another option is to use rasterization
feature of the matplotlib itself. This way you can keep part of plot
in vector format (e.g., texts, lines, etc ) while rasterizing others.
Of course this solution only works if the "quality" of those being
rasterized is not very important.

The rasterization in the ps backend works in a way that all the artist
whose zorder is smaller than the specified value are rasterized while
those with larger zorder are not.
