# Matplotlib Backend for DXF
## Overview
This is a Matplotlib backend that enables Matplotlib to save figures as DXF drawings. DXF is a drawing format commonly used by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools.
This package builds on the `ezdxf` package by Manfred Moitzi:
[ezdxf on Bitbucket](http://bitbucket.org/mozman/ezdxf)
## Installation
The package can be cloned and installed using poetry:
## Usage
To use this backend, you first need to register it with Matplotlib:
```python
import matplotlib
from mpldxf import FigureCanvasDxf
matplotlib.backend_bases.register_backend('dxf', FigureCanvasDxf)
```
Then, you can save a figure as a DXF file:
```python
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot(range(10))
plt.savefig('myplot.dxf')
```
## Warning
This package is a work in progress. Not all Matplotlib plot types will render correctly, and text alignment and sizing in particular may require adjustments.
