[matplotlib-devel] Circle Markers + vector graphics

2007-11-14 Thread Ryan May
Hi, Is there any reason that circles are approximated by polygons when written out by vector graphics backends (i.e. SVG, PS)? Someone pointed this out to me, and having verified it, I found it surprising. I would think since at least SVG directly supports circles, they'd be used for output.
