[matplotlib-devel] Transparent backgrounds for savefig

[S. v. d. W. <st...@su...>]

Hi all,

I'm generating plots for a document with a non-white background, and I
need the outer rectangle (the one is normally gray on the screen) to
be transparent.  Savefig doesn't seem to have such an option: is it
possible to do it already, and if not, would there be any interest in
a patch?

Regards
