In general, you don't need to know much about a backed to use it, just
switch to that backend by either doing
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Cairo')
at the top of your script (before importing pylab/pyplot) or making it
permanent in your rc file. See
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#id1
You can also use cairo rendering in a gtk window by selecting the
GTKCairo backend.
