Here is a summary of the matplotlib renderers (there is an eponymous
backed for each):
-===============================
=====================================================================================
-Renderer (Filetypes) Description
-===============================
=====================================================================================
-Agg (png) raster - high quality images using the
`antigrain <http://antigrain.html>`_ engine
-PS (ps, eps) vector - postscript output
-PDF (pdf) vector - portable document format
-SVG (svg) vector - scalar vector graphics
-Cairo (png, ps, pdf, svn, ...) vector - `cairo graphics
<http://cairographics.org>`_
-GDK (png, jpg, tiff..) raster - the GDK drawing API for GTK
