Hi John Here's a test script that gives the wrongly exported SVG image. I'm viewing with EOG. When I edit to add "style="opacity:0.15"" it works fine, so there's no prob with EOG.
from pylab import * import matplotlib.numerix.ma as ma from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap A = flipud(array([[1,2,3,4,5],[1,3,4,5,6],[1,1,4,5,7]])) M = where(A==1,1,0) B = ma.array(A,mask=M) C = ListedColormap(['r','#FF00FF','y','g','b','#FFFF00']) x = [0,5,10,15,20] y = [0,5,10] X,Y = meshgrid(x,y) X = ma.array(X,mask=B.mask()) Y = ma.array(Y,mask=B.mask()) figure() pcolor(X,Y,B,alpha=0.15,shading='flat',cmap=C) hold(True) contour(x,y,B) xlabel('something') ylabel('else') Cheers JP John Hunter wrote: >>>>>> "John" == John Pye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >>>>>> > > John> issues: 1.
