Hi,
I've been poking around with pcolor, trying to see what makes it tick,
since its performance is biggest thing that drives me nuts about
matplotlib. I do pcolor plots of weather radar data with ~10
polygons in them. Unfortunately, these polygons are at best trapezoids,
so I can't trea
Ryan,
The pcolor implementation is fundamentally unsuited to large arrays.
Therefore I made the pcolorfast axes method, which tries to use the
fastest available Agg extension code, depending on the characteristics
of the spatial grid. If the grid is rectangular and regular in both
directions

I'm working on improving the plotting speed of one of our applications. As
part of that, I was looking at how quickly the QtAgg backend is drawing. I
added some print out's to the backend and noticed that it seems to be
drawing everything twice. In the code:
backend_qtagg.py: FigureCanvasQTAgg
