[Matplotlib-users] Intersecting polygons

[Chris B. <cbe...@cf...>]

Hi,

I have a semitransparent plot that I rather like:

[image: Inline image 1]
I'd like to publish something like this in a journal which requires EPS
figures. Unfortunately, EPS doesn't support transparency.

How hard would it be to coax matplotlib (or another tool) to convert this
semi-transparent figure into a non-semitransparent figure that looks the
same? It would consist of more polygons, each of which has a constant RGB
value in the transparent figure.

I don't want to rasterize the lines, because I like zooming absurdly far
into plots, and having them stay crisp.

Cheers,
Chris
