SVG rendering Samples w/ mpl-simple-svg-parser
This sample result page for mpl-simple-svg-parser, which try to read the svg file as a vector path for Matplotlib. It utilizes cairosvg and picosvg to convert the input svg to more manageable svg, and read it using svgpath2mpl and some custom code.
It is meant to be good enough, not 100% compatible.
Here is an example comparing the rendered results between inkscape, cairosvg and mpl-simple-svg-parser. The two on the right are rendered by matplotlib (with different options). And yes, we do support gradient while inefficient (indirectly using cairosvg).

Take a look at the sample gallery to see how good/bad it is.
