You can do this using an external program -- see for example
http://abitofpythonabitofastronomy.blogspot.com/2008/10/svg.html.  It
would be challenging to implement something like this internally
across output formats I think, but we recently added some features to
make it easier to use an svg editor for filtering mpl objects.  See
also this thread
