Use SVG backend in documentation for sharper images #19880

Closed

Description

@ma-sadeghi

This is a random snippet from matplotlib's documentation. As you can see, the figure is blurry. If you use SVG backend, they'll look much sharper and prettier.

    Agreed, except many figures would also need the rasterized=True option turned on for some artists

    See also #19852

    We did switch to SVG once (#5677), but it had to be reverted due to bugs.

    We now serve images at 200 dpi as well as 100 dpi. I think this can be closed.
