No Powerpoint version I know supports SVG (or any vector graphics format useful in this case) and Matplotlib does not export WMF graphics anymore. So the easiest way is to use PNGs, if you can live with raster graphics.
Alternatively, if you need vector graphics, you can export the Matplotlib plot as SVG and convert it to WMF or EMF using Inkscape. This can be done in the command line like this: "c:\Program Files\Inkscape-0.48\inkscape.exe" --without-gui --export-emf="output.emf" "input.svg" Juergen Am 21.04.2014 13:06, schrieb Neal Becker: > Make sure to save into a vector graphic format so it can be resized.
