figure(frameon=False)
must work for the figure frame. Do you need the axes to be
transparent too. Note that the figure and axes frames are both
matplotlib rectangles. You can control the transparency of the
rectangle by calling
rect.set_alpha(0.5)
You can access the figure Rectangle instance as
fig.figPatch
and the Axes Rectangle instance as
ax.axesPatch
Passing one of these instances to "help" or "set" will give more info.
