But there could be shortcuts like implementing a backend for Matplotlib > first. @Simon: Matplotlib is probably too slow to produce graphics output for a library like Glvisualize. I had the same idea - after I finished writing a GR backend for MPL, I was really disappointed when I realized, that most of the time (>95%) was spent in Matplotlib's artist layer. Your shaders would probably be bored or fall asleep ;-)
