This may help you ... or not
You may have to change your backend :
p13 of the matplotlib user guide: backends
p17 how to change the backend in the matplotlibrc
An example of matplotlibrc ( backend choice is at the beginning ):
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlibrc
You may choose PS or SVG or pdf, there might be other possibilities, I
do not know
To save the file : savefig
