Thanks Jae-Joon, but my case was so simple that a direct copy&paste from SVG worked as well.
The only trick was recovering the original scale (the SVG plot path is stored in different coordinates), but that was easy too, after reading off positions of the axis scaling ticks from the SVG. In fact, it was so simple I feel embarrassed to have asked here... but we live and learn, I guess :-) > ------------ Původní zpráva ------------ > Od: Jae-Joon Lee <lee.j.j...@gmail.com> > Předmět: Re: [Matplotlib-users] edit EPS > Datum: 29.12.2010 03:41:39 > ---------------------------------------- > I would try to recover the data from the plot.
