+Native OS X backend
+--------------------
+
+Michiel de Hoon has provided a native Mac OSX backend that is almost
+completely implemented in C. The backend can therefore use Quartz
+directly and, depending on the application, can be orders of magnitude
+faster than the existing backends. In addition, no third-party
+libraries are needed other than Python and NumPy. The backend is
+interactive from the usual terminal application on Mac using regular
+Python. It hasn't been tested with ipython yet, but in principle it
+should to work there as well.  Set 'backend : macosx' in your
+matplotlibrc file, or run your script with::
+
+    > python myfile.py -dmacosx
