Thank you very much. That's a good start. Do you know of any good
documentation on how to choose and use backends? What I find
is very thin...
: Check out the matplotlib.use function. For example:
:
: import matplotlib
: matplotlib.use('agg')
: import pylab
: pylab.plot([1, 3, 5])
: fig = file('foo.png', 'wb')
: pylab.savefig(fig, format='png')
: fig.close()
Raster graphics is not good enough, I will need a backend which
does vector graphics and pdf output. AFAICS from the FAQ at
sourceforge, agg only supports raster and png. Cairo supports
vector graphics and PDF, but I cannot find any information about
how/if it deals with X11...
