Mike,
Thanks for doing this--it has already helped me in my testing of the
gappy-path simplification support, which I have now committed. As you
suggested earlier, I included in path.py a check for a compatible codes
array.
The agg limit still can be a problem. It looks like chunking could be
added easily by making the backend_agg draw_path a python method calling
the renderer method; if the path length exceeds some threshold, then
subpaths would be generated and passed to the renderer method.
