Unfortunately, matplotlib doesn't support importing vector images of any sort.
Your best bet is to, as you suggest, do the compositing in an external tool, such as Inkscape. Version 0.46 and later claim to support PDF import, you could try that. (Though I haven't tried it with a matplotlib plot personally, so no promises...) Cheers, Mike jakobg wrote: > Hi there, > > I want to place an eps graphic I created in Inkscape in a plot.
