Comment (by ppurka):

 * `GraphicsPrimitive` is unfortunately too crude for most purposes. All
 the important functions are defined in `Graphics`.
 * I did try using `_render_on_subplot` from `line.py` but ran into the
 same problem as you described in comment:9. It simply doesn't work since
 matplotlib fails to re-render the line in log scale. Actually I ran into
 many more problems; I just can't remember what else. The most painless
 method seemed to be to use pyplot (or even pylab, but we can avoid
 importing that since we don't need numpy).

 That said, it is IMHO better to have logarithmic plots as a separate
 class. For instance, it doesn't make much sense to "add" plots with
 different scalings (and I also raise an error in the class I created).
