Objective:
produce multi-page pdfs using xelatex so I can have advanced latex and stix
fonts (using xits package)
I've used pdf multipage with the recipe:
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use ('pdf')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages
pdf = PdfPages('test_uw3.pdf')
for page in ...
fig = plt.figure()
pdf.savefig (fig)
plt.close()
pdf.close()
Now I'm interested in using xelatex (to use stix fonts). So I saw the
I should use pgf
If I add:
from matplotlib.backends.backend_pgf import FigureCanvasPgf
matplotlib.backend_bases.register_backend('pdf', FigureCanvasPgf)
as suggested by
http://matplotlib.org/users/pgf.html
I get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas?
