By the way, I'd like to thank Andrew Straw for pointing this out.
I originally looked at how PIL handled blitting images to Tkinter
as a possible way of doing it for Chaco/Kiva, and it seemed to
work fine. But it didn't get used for Chaco/Kiva so it sat there
a while (and the license issue "to-do" faded from my memory)
until it I realized that it could be used for matplotlib/Tk/agg
when I gave it to Todd to use. By then I forgot to mention that
it was taken from PIL so I'm glad you noticed that.
