Re: [Matplotlib-users] Intersecting polygons

[Florian M. W. <wag...@st...>]

Hey Chris,

I had a similar problem. I saved the transparent objects, so the 
polygons in your case, as a high-resolution png and the axes, dots, 
lines, text objects and everything else to an eps. Finally, I just layed 
them on top of each other in Illustrator and saved as eps, which 
produced a decent result. But this was only a work-around as well. They 
might be better options...

Cheers
Florian
