It does look like it is ignored. It is a kwarg for Artists that is not supported by all. The fact that one can specify it and get no feedback is a bug. > > I attempted to use the pcolormesh() method, which worked, but is > impractical, as a 1000x1000 image produces a 300Mb EPS file when plotted > in this way. There is some infrastructure for handling this via selective rasterization of artists, but I can never remember exactly what its status is; I don't see anything in the examples. The topic comes up on the list at perhaps 6-month intervals. Personally, I would very much like to see the selective rasterization capability fully developed and exposed, complete with documentation and examples; it is important for exactly the reason you note above. It is not something I will be able to work on myself, unfortunately.
