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

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

Thanks Nicolas for your code.

The difference in what I have and what you share is in the svg path
specification. For some reason Inkscape outputs a single leading "c" for
the bezier curve in my path whereas your path has a "c" for every three
points. I'm not quite sure the difference, maybe Inkscape outputs a
non-standard form.
