SVG with missingno.matrix

[jaketae]

Hello,

I'm slightly confused by the behavior of missingno.matrix() when called in Jupyter notebooks with a specific matplotlib configuration, namely %config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg'. Using this configuration seems to blur the matrix displaying the missing values so that white spaces bleed over to adjacent columns. For better illustration, here is a link to a notebook replicating this behavior.

I'm not sure if this issue has already been reported before since my search among closed issues proved to be futile, so I thought it would be best to give it a shot here. Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately I can't claim to support any of the matplotlib backends besides the standard one! In my experience claims that matplotlib backends can be used independently of one another are is not really true; there are differences between how they render that make it non-trivial to switch between them. This issue is a great example of that.

matplotlib#12609 might be related. You have a very clear example so I suggest filing this bug report in the matplotlib repo with the backend/svg tag.

Thanks for the prompt reply! For some reason, I always thought matplotlib backends could be switched without much consideration, but perhaps that's not really the case as demonstrated here. I'll consider filing an issue over at matplotlib.
