title: How to better rasterize a plot without blurring the labels in matplotlib?
body: <p>I usually use <code>ax.set_rasterized(True)</code> to rasterize the figure so that it could handle transparency when saved as in <code>eps</code> format, but the rasterization also blurs the axis labels and ticklabels, so is there a way to rasterize only patches within the axis rather than the whole figure? or is there a better around for exporting eps format with transparency? Thanks.</p>
