Hi the following code produces transparency in the *.pdf, but when i compile the *.pgf using pdflatex this transparency is gone... (there is a possibility i am using latex wrong, but the *.pgf file contains no sign of transparencies...)

import numpy as np
import matplotlib as mpl

mpl.use('pgf')

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

pgf_with_latex = {                      # setup matplotlib to use latex for output
    "pgf.texsystem": "pdflatex",        # change this if using xetex or lautex
    "text.usetex": True,                # use LaTeX to write all text
    "pgf.preamble": [
        r"\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}",    # use utf8 fonts becasue your computer can handle it :)
        r"\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}",        # plots will be generated using this preamble
        ]
    }
mpl.rcParams.update(pgf_with_latex)

def savefig(filename):
    plt.savefig('{}.pgf'.format(filename), transparent=True)
    plt.savefig('{}.pdf'.format(filename))
    plt.savefig('{}.png'.format(filename))


x = np.linspace(0,10, num = 10)
y1 = 1*x
y2 = 0.2*x + 4
plt.fill_between(x,0,y1,color='red',alpha=0.5)
plt.fill_between(x,0,y2,color='blue',alpha=0.5)
#plt.show()


savefig("test")

Uh oh!

No transparency in *.pgf file when using pgf Backend. #5867
