create vector-graphics with org-babel

[Max Linke]

Hi

I'm trying to use vector graphics in my org document

#+BEGIN_SRC ipython :session :file iso.svg :exports results
   x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
   y = np.sin(x)
   plt.plot(x, y)
#+END_SRC

I can run this cell with 'C-c C-c' but I can't export it to latex
because it says that svg is currently not supported. Is there a way
to include svg (or another type of vector graphics) export into my
document.

Another interesting thing to know is how I can change the DPI of the
produced png?

best Max

Hi Max,

What version of org are you using?  Latex export should support svg
since commit 0cef5b63e, which is in version 8.1+.  (You do need to
install and configure the “svg” package for latex in order to compile
the document.)

I found out that the error is related to the ob-ipython package. They 
currently only allow png's. Using the normal ob-python everything works. 
Thanks for the help though.

If you want vector graphics, but do not care about the specific type of
vector graphics, you can always use pdf.  IIUC, you are using
matplotlib.  So pdfs are supported, just configure PdfPages from
matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf.
