Quick warning about ImageMagick and EPS files (and any other vector-based
graphics format)...
ImageMagick is a raster-based system. When it loads a vector-based graphic,
it implicitly rasterizes it, performs the requested operations, and then
outputs the file format. So, even if you output the result as a EPS file,
you would have lost all vector-based info (like text and lines). The result
looks horrible.
I have been contemplating adding some sort of functionality like this for
the various formats. I recently ran into issues like this for an IEEE
publication and had to resort to obtaining a copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro to
fix up my images. It would be nice if I could pass an option to .savefig()
like 'use_cmyk=True' or something and be done with it.
