[matplotlib-devel] Problem with svg output !?

Hi,

I have a problem with the svg output of matplotlib. I created a scatter 
plot and saved it to svg. For the scatter plot I used two kinds of 
symbols to mark different types of data. Afterwards I opened the file 
using Inkscape to make some minor modifications. When opening the file 
it looked fine (see Screenshot1.png). However, to do the modifications I 
had to 'ungroup' the axis. After that one group of the two markers 
disappeared from the plot (see Screenshot2.png). The data is however not 
deleted, it's just invisible in Inkscape (but not in Firefox ;-).

I suspect it has to do with the clipPath definition, which is defined 
for the regpolycollection4 (the green triangles, which are plotted 
first) but not for the regploycollection5 (the blue dots, which are 
plotted second).

Is there any reason why a clipPath is defined for only one of the 
Collections? I'm not sure whether this is a bug in matplotlib svg output 
or Inkscape, but naively I would say that Inkscape behaves correct here.

Hope this can be fixed,
   Manuel

Uuuu, btw. I'm using matplotlib 0.90.1
