Re: [Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib produced plots in academic journal articles

[Steven B. <bo...@ph...>]

For example, in astronomy, a lot of people will 'publish' their paper 
to Arxiv before it is accepted into a journal. Arxiv is accessible by 
the general public and a little digging around will reveal that you can 
download the actual Latex source for the paper. This includes all of 
the figures. I have never heard of anyone getting sued by a journal for 
posting their stuff on the arxiv.
