you could try using the matplotlib SVG backend. Skencil can import SVG, although skencil can only use the old X-style font system, so my plots (which use Bitstream Vera fonts by default) didn't look too nice. You could fix this by setting more compatible fonts in the matplotlibrc presumably. Alternatively, you could try Inkscape in place of Skencil for editing SVG files. Inkscape can print to PS/EPS/AI for inclusion in a LateX or skencil document (.ai). It can optionaly convert text to paths, avoiding the font problems.
