I see, thanks for explaining. This is actually the Inkscape bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168800 with one of the comments suggesting to learn from Matplotlib how to export clipping to pdf with Cairo. It is supposedly fixed in Inkscape svn trunk. /Olle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
