How can I get the output of a Matplotlib plot as an SVG?
Just using the savefig method of the pyplot package and mentioning the file format, we can save the output as a SVG format.
Steps
Create fig and ax variables using subplots method, where default nrows and ncols are 1.
Create xpoints and ypoints using np.array(0, 5).
Plot lines using xpoints and ypoints.
Set the X-axis label using plt.xlabel() method.
Set the Y-axis label using plt.ylabel() method.
To save the file in SVG format, use savefig() method where image name is myImagePDF.svg, format="svg".
To show the image, use plt.show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
xpoints = np.array([0, 5])
ypoints = np.array([0, 5])
plt.plot(xpoints, ypoints)
plt.ylabel("Y-axis ")
plt.xlabel("X-axis ")
image_format = 'svg' # e.g .png, .svg, etc.
image_name = 'myimage.svg'
fig.savefig(image_name, format=image_format, dpi=1200)Output
