All the changes are already in, though I think you have to be running master on some or all of Color/Cairo/Winston. > So we can have far more prettier plots but pay with speed... Yes, I've been quite delighted by our new ability to export images containing transparency as _vector-graphics PDFs_. Hello Matlab? I've been waiting for that for about 10 years? Don't you read your email? :) > I'm preparing some speed testing for Cairo.jl, watch out for the PR. Definitely looking forward to that. Speed is the one thing I find distressing about Cairo. Certain operations are notably faster if you're running Gtk rather than Tk, but in my not-very-scientific tests this scatter-plot does not appear to be one of them. --Tim
