So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand...

If you, like me, resent every dollar spent on commercial PDF tools, you might want to know how to change the text content of a PDF without having to pay for Adobe Acrobat or another PDF tool. I didn't see an obvious open-source tool that lets you dig into PDF internals, but I did discover a few useful facts about how PDFs are structured that I think may prove useful to others (or myself) in the future. They are recorded here. They are surely not universally applicable --
the PDF standard is truly Byzantine -- but they worked for my case.

	# create figure form matplotlib.pyplot
	fig = plt.figure()

	# make global min/max for the whole array,
	# so colour scale will be consistent between the frames
	data_min = np.nanmin(full_data_panel.values)
	data_max = np.nanmax(full_data_panel.values)

	# create iterator
	data_frames_iterator = full_data_panel.iteritems()
