Also, matplotlib is also able to do imshow(), pcolor() and other rasterized drawings, so we aren't restricted to just line drawings. Nils, the answer is "no, we don't support webp -- yet". There is no reason why we can't eventually do so, and patches will always be welcomed. I just wouldn't expect it anytime soon. Ben Root |
