Re: [matplotlib-devel] R.I.P. Maxim Shemanarev

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

Thanks for passing this along, Nicolas.

Agg is some serious ninja-voodoo...  Whenever looking through it to 
explore something new, I move from utter confusion to complete amazement 
at how all kinds of difficult problems are solved in an ingenious and 
ultimately extremely flexible way.  And I think it's fair to say that 
matplotlib would not have achieved the level of overall raster quality 
it has without Agg under the hood.
