imshow in the current release does not support rotation. However, imshow in the svn DOES support rotation (or any affine transform), but for ps backend only. Here is a relevant thread. So take a look if you're interested. http://old.nabble.com/imshow-without-resampling-in-the-ps-backend.-tt26805182.html#a26805182 > > Never used rasterization before... > (and thanks for pointing out the mistake on map3, this came after > adapting the script for this post).

Other artists (lines, texts, etc.) will be in the vector format. As a matter of fact, images in matplotlib are always rasterized internally (only exception is the ps backend in the svn). So, the result will not be much different. Also, you can increase the dpi of the output if you think output quality is poor.
