[Matplotlib-users] CMYK
Hi all, I need to produce figures with CMYK colours, preferably vector-based. There are two old threads, one from November 2007 and one from August 2010, regarding this topic: - http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/rgb-versus-cmyk-tp32391.html - http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/CMYK-images-td16339.html However, they only provide some hacks and workarounds, no matplotlib-integrated solution. Furthermore, some links in these threads are broken, and other solutions require Adobe products. I was wondering if anything changed regarding this within the last 2.5 years since the last thread. Is there a way to produce CMYK with matplotlib?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] CMYK
Thanks everybody for the input. As I see the answer is no, but it could be implemented. I did an extensive search, but I even struggle to find a good and practical solution how to convert a VECTORPLOT RGB to CMYK on a linux system. (One way I often found would be the Adobe suits, which I do not have.) I gave mpl_ps_cmyk a go, but execution failed, and the page looks dated. Furthermore, Adobes seems to provide ICCs only for Windows and Mac, but not for Linux. ImageMagick rasterizes the figure, the same with GIMP. I agree that this should be done on the publisher's side, but as a matter of fact it is the requirement of some journals. Is there really no practical way to do this? How do others convert RGB plots to CMYK? (Importing my data into Matlab and plotting them there cannot be the only possibility!) Thanks everybody again, much appreciated!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] CMYK
Thanks everybody, very insightful. I will specifically have a look at the pgf-tikz-backend, sounds great!
