Hi,

in matplotlib 0.91 there was a function draw_point for the backends. 
This seems to be gone (except for backend_agg2.py and backend_emf.py 
!?). I guess it wasn't used very often; instead I see that there is now 
a function draw_point in lines.py. Is it possible to re-add this 
functionality to the backends ??? What I would need is a function that 
draws a single pixel to a device.

The reason why I'm asking is that I have thought about an additional 
scatter marker m=(0,0) that draws single pixels (as fast as possible). 
Such a marker might be very useful when drawing lots and lots of 
data-point on in a single plot. A typical application might be to draw 
the positions of particles in an N-Body simulation. My current best 
approach is to use "scatter(x,y, s=0.1)", but I think that an optimized 
routine would be very helpful.

So my main questions are:
- Why was draw_point removed ?
- Can it be re-added again?
