For a start, you can replace 'PS' with 'SVG' in pstest.py in the
examples.  Otherwise, any of the examples that don't have mathtext or
images should work.  Just add

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('SVG')

at the beginning and then

savefig('myfilename')

at the end.

What's new in matplotlib-0.60.1

 * figure images (pixel-by-pixel, not resampled) with the figimage
   command.  Multiple figure images (ie mosaics) with alpha blending
   are supported.  See
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples/figimage_demo.py

 * multiple axes images with imshow using alpha blending.  See
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/screenshots.html#layer_images

 * unified color limit and color mapping arguments to pcolor, scatter,
   imshow and figimage.  Interactive control of colormap and color
   scaling with new matplotlib.matlab commands jet, gray and clim.
   New matplotlib rc parameters for default image params.  image
   origin can be upper or lower - see
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples/image_origin.py

 * colorbar -
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.matlab.html#-colorbar - now
   works with imshow, pcolor, and scatter

 * new 'draw' command to redraw the figure - use this in place of
   multiple calls to show.  This is equivalent to doing
   get_current_fig_manager().canvas.draw(), but takes less typing :-)

 * support for py2exe - see
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/py2exe_examples.zip

 * New finance demo shows off many of the features of matplotlib - see
   screenshot at
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/screenshots.html#finance_work2

 * new matplotlib.matlab command 'rc' for dynamic control of rc
   parameters.  See
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.matlab.html#-rc and example
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples/customize_rc.py

 * Andrew Straw submitted a dynamic_image example.  The wx version is
   still in progress and has some flicker problems, but the gtk version
   is pretty cool - 
   http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples/dynamic_image_gtkagg.py

 * Bug fixes: dynamic_demo_wx, figure legends, memory leaks, axis
   scaling bug related to singleton plots, mathtext bug for '6', some
   numarray bug workarounds

See http://matplotlib.sf.net/CHANGELOG for details

Hello again,

Just to clean up my mess, I've sent John a couple of patches, one which
cleans up the SVG backend a little, and the other which makes it so that
print_figure() (at least in the agg backends) will save as SVG when the
filename ends in .svg.

A couple other features I had been thinking about, but won't have time
to work on:

-Compressed (gzipped) SVG
-Using <marker> elements for symbols. This would shrink file sizes a
lot. You could create a Polygon collection renderer for this I think,
but it may be more involved...

Also, using python's built-in DOM implementation might result in cleaner
code, but may not be worth it.

Now, I'd better go do some physics before my adviser finds out what I've
been doing with my time... ;)
