[Pythonmac-SIG] matplotlib vector graphics

[Christian Meesters]

Hi Teemu,

Sure, why not? It works like in the examples provided with matplotlib.
For Example:
	
	import matplotlib
	matplotlib.use('Agg')
	import pylab
	
	pylab.plot(list1,list2,'k-')
	pylab.title("some title")
	pylab.xlabel('some unit label')
	pylab.ylabel('some different unit label')
	
	pylab.savefig("filename.ps")

Note though, that you need to set matplotlib.use under such 
circumstances to 'Agg', for otherwise matplotlib will complain when 
importing pylab that you (as I presume) don't have gtk, which is the 
default backend. You can use the rc-parameterfile as well and don't 
have to change these settings in every script.

Hope I could help.

Cheers,
Christian
