Simplify complex graph from matplotlib

[Bernt Lie]

I had a similar problem lately: I produced a scatterplot using matplotlib (or rather: the matplotlib back-end for Plots in Julia), and stored the file as *.svg – with a file size of some 5 MB. I tried to subsample the plot, e.g., by using only 10% of the points. Still a relatively large plot file.

In the end, I saved the file as a *.png file, which took some 150-200 kB. Not as pretty, but close enough.

Don't know if this is more appropriate for lyx or mpl.  I have a couple of graphs with a large number of points.  They were exported from matplotlib as pdf, and produced large files.  After including in lyx, the resulting pdf takes a long time to load.

The plots don't really need so many points at all.  Other than going back to the mpl source to plot fewer points, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Neal
