This sounds like it could be a pretty stellar improvement to the WX  
backend.  Thanks!

I should be at a work-related meeting on Tuesday with Matt Newville,  
the WX backend maintainer.  I'll try to get some time set aside to  
get your changes merged on my laptop before them, so that we can  
check them out properly afterward.  My big concern is to investigate  
how these changes may affect people who are embedding WxAgg figures  
in wxPython applications.  If you've done what I think you have, that  
shouldn't be a problem.

You may want to submit this portion of the changes as a separate  
patch.  I've found that my patches get accepted faster when I only do  
one thing per patch.

Sorry, I can't help you with this one.

I've always done exactly what you're doing now: uploading it on SF  
then emailing the developers' list.
