Hi @Jakob and Bartosz
Thx; Both approches (PYX and svgutils) worked well. But there are some things to consider. svgutils for instance uses coordinates from the top left corner. On Ubuntu (I use 11.10 x64) PYX can be installed from repository using synaptics. svgutils can be installed without problems from the github repository. I included (as text to avoid download problems for others) a example script where I utilize mpl to generate svg and eps files and combine the eps using PYX and the svg using svgutils. @ Jerzy Karczmarczuk: >1. You have gradients, clipping paths, patterns, and filtering, which >interpolates between vector and raster data. You will not implement >easily as an "artist" the blur, displacement maps, or morphologic filters What I intended to do can be seen in the attached svg figure. I do not need gradient, filtering, effects and so on. I only need basic functionality like lines or circles do add simple graphics into my mpl plot. The subfigure inside the mpl plot was drawn in Inkscape now inserted svgutils. The resulting svg (or eps) will be used in my lyx document which is converted to a pdf on the fly by Inkscape. @ all: Did anyone try http://cairographics.org/pyrsvg/ to achieve the above questioned.
