sketch bar?

I know matplotlib mimics matlab, which offers scientific look.
but can we use matplotlib to get a skecth(in other words,
hand-drawing) style for bar/pie/etc in none formalist paper? for
example, http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/gallery-bar-7.php
thanks

JJ's demo_ribbon_box is pretty close -- you just need to create a base

With a considerable effort you could use mpl's capabilities to program
this sort of thing, but it will not be added as an option.

You may also try saving as SVG and then loading in Inkscape and using its various "artistic" vector plugins to achieve similar results.
