Matplotlib Plots Lose Transparency When Saving as .ps/.eps

Question

I\'m having an issue with attempting to save some plots with transparent ellipsoids on them if I attempt to save them with .ps/.eps extensions.

You can rasterize the figure before saving it to preserve transparency in the eps file:

ax.set_rasterized(True)
plt.savefig('rasterized_fig.eps')
