Another things that can be good to add is a better clipping. For the moment
there are no clipping that means if I have something like::
x = arange(1000)
plot(x,x)
xlim(30,40)
savefig('test.svg')
All the point are stored in the file, not only the part between 30 and 40.
This is something I spoke before and I fill a bug or feature request on
sourceforge (I'have been unable to find it today but I looked fast).
You can check the problem with the svg created if you open it with inkscape,
you'll see all the point. I understood that this is a bug inside inkscape too
butthat means that all the point are there and it's a big concern for me when
I have to plot plenty of spectra and use only a small range because I know
that my file at the end will be huge. The only way I found is 1) save in png
and use another software to save it in eps but I loose the fact that eps is a
vectoriel format 2) do the clipping myself or 3) create my plot with another
software like pgplot or gnuplot.
