Dear Jerzy, The SVG export within the pyqtgraph NEVER exports the plot as seen in the interactive plot. See the attached file. The data are not filled, and the model is with SUPER low resolution. How Can I put this in my paper? I tried Inkscape with the exported files, with not much success. Maybe I did not get how to work with Inkscape, but after many hours trying to produce reasonable plots I simply give up.
Try your self: https://github.com/3fon3fonov/exostriker load a data set, perform a model, and try to export. If you can provide me a reasonable .PDF from a SVG export I would be very happy to learn from you. My solution at the moment is to export to a custom version of the matplotlib exporter GUI, and from there to PDF. Yet, please agree with me, export directly in .PS, EPS or preferably .PDF is the best solution. I will open an Issue in the GitHub. Let's see what will be the outcome.
