FW: matplotlib plots into powerpoint

Powerpoint supports PNG & TIFF

One option would thus be to generate an EPS with the PS backend (using
usetex)

Then convert it to TIFF of PNG using Ghostscript.

Here is an example from a python script I use to generate png's with
alpha transparance for web use with M4 Circuit Macros...

...
pngwrite_cmd="gswin32c -dQUIET -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dEPSCrop
-sDEVICE=pngalpha -r600 -sOutputFile="+filename+".png "+filename+".eps"
error=os.system(pngwrite_cmd)
...

Then in PowderPoint use "Insert" -> "Picture" -> Graphics from File"

And "drag" to the desired size...

I will test out a 600dpi png in a powerpoint slide and see
how I feel about it.

I need to use usetex. Does that work with the svg backend?

As a last resort, I will dump the data to a text file from
Python and use Matlab to generate wmf's (the horror!). I am
o.k. with it because this is the last time I will ever have
to do one of these (provided I graduate soon).
