Re: [Matplotlib-users] svg in plot

[Jakob G. <ga...@il...>]

Hi,

if the import filetype is not restricted to svg, you can use PyX to 
place vector eps figures into other eps figures. I used this in a two 
step approach (first create the plot with matplotlib and store is as eps 
and second, use PyX to combine the plot with a vector figure) in a 
single script.

This usually worked fine and the resulting file is still completely 
vectorized!
