Carl, I've not been following the matplotlib mailing lists recently, but I came across your blog and had a look at the cairo patches. It looks like all the cairo patches are against some old version of matplotlib.
patch #2 enable clipping I enabled clipping in Jan-2007. patch #1 for 'snapping' The patch did not reach the mailing list (?). But in a later mail you mention that snapping smooth, curved user data is a really bad idea. So the patch should probably not be applied. patch #3 snap dash lengths, relies on patch #1. I think this patch has the problems of patch #1 - if the dashes are being used to draw axes or gridlines then snapping is OK. But if the dashes are for user data then snapping is not necessarily what you want. I think the real problem highlighted by patches #1 and #3 is that matplotlib (the frontend) does not tell the backends when it is drawing the plot axes and gridlines to enable the backends to switch on pixel aligned drawing. patch #4 for arcs Looks good, applied it today.
