Paul, Quadmesh has a bug in it that I would love to see squashed. Can you look at it, or induce someone else to do so? I tried but couldn't figure it out--it is something deep in the use of Agg. It is illustrated by examples/quadmesh_demo.py. With masked data (right-hand subplot), the masked region is not set to the background but is instead picking up odd things. If you don't see it immediately, try reshaping and resizing the plot a few times. Thanks.
