When saving a figure in JPEG format *via the agg backend*, the following
extra keyword arguments have an effect:
*quality*: The image quality, on a scale from 1 (worst) to
95 (best). The default is 75. Values above 95 should
be avoided; 100 completely disables the JPEG
quantization stage.
*optimize*: If present, indicates that the encoder should
make an extra pass over the image in order to select
optimal encoder settings.
*progressive*: If present, indicates that this image
should be stored as a progressive JPEG file.
If a backend implements its JPEG saving differently, these might not do
anything -- this seems to be the case for the MacOSX backend, for
example.
