[Matplotlib-users] Are matplotlib paths equivalent to svg paths?

[Jason M. <moo...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have some SVGs with closed Bezier curve paths that I'd like to convert to
matplotlib paths.

For example, here is some code:
https://gist.github.com/moorepants/4cac02e798446bb46de7

The above script runs but the resulting path in matplotlib is less smooth
that when opened in inkscape, for example. I've attached screenshots.

I'm not sure why there is a difference.

Any suggestions to get my matplotlib curves looking as smooth as they do in
SVG format?
