Matplotlib backend for dxf

Overview

This is a matplotlib backend that enables matplotlib to save figures as DXF drawings. DXF is a drawing format that is used by computer aided design (CAD) tools.

This package builds on the ezdxf package by Manfred Moitzi:

http://bitbucket.org/mozman/ezdxf

Usage

First you need to register the backend with matplotlib:

import matplotlib
from mpldxf import FigureCanvasDxf
matplotlib.backend_bases.register_backend('dxf', FigureCanvasDxf)

You can then save your figure:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot(range(10))
plt.savefig('myplot.dxf')

Warning

This is very much a work in progress. Not all matplotlib plot types will render correctly. Text alignment and sizing in particular need work.
