Matplotlib Plots Lose Transparency When Saving as .ps/.eps

Question

I\'m having an issue with attempting to save some plots with transparent ellipsoids on them if I attempt to save them with .ps/.eps extensions.

Here\'s the plot sav

Answer 1

My solution is to export the plot as .eps, load it up to Inkscape for example, then Ungroup the plot, select the object that I want to set the transparency and just edit the Opacity of the Fill in the "Fill and Stroke" tab.

You can save the file as .svg if you want to tweak it later, or export the image for a publication.
