Generate Matplotlib Figures Inside Inkscape — Without Leaving Your Design Tool

You’ve spent 20 minutes perfecting a bar chart in Matplotlib. Now you need to drop it into your Inkscape poster—but the moment you export as PNG, it’s locked. You can’t edit the colors. You can’t move the legend. You can’t adjust the title without regenerating the whole thing in Python, exporting again, and re-importing.

There’s a better way. The Matplotlib Figure Generator extension lets you build and edit Matplotlib visualizations directly inside Inkscape, with full vector editability and zero export-import friction.
