You could use the findobj function to recursively find any object in
the figure with an "antialiased" method (though the Text objects do
not currently have such a method).  This would at least get you the
lines, rectangles and polygons

  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/findobj_demo.html

Eg::

  def has_aa(x):
      return hasattr(x, 'set_antialiased')

  for o in fig.findobj(has_aa):
      o.set_antialiased(False)
