[Matplotlib-users] GD linewidth, Agg unaliased

[Kuzminski, S. R <SKu...@fa...>]

I upgraded to GD v2 and gdmodule v0.52 and I noticed that line widths
don't work correctly.  If the line width is >1 the line comes out as
'stripes'.  This is on Linux.  The GD lib < 2.0 didn't have line width
support at all so maybe I've never seen GD create variable width lines
on linux?  I wonder if this is a GD problem.

I tried the new Agg backend, very nice.  I'm all set to jettison GD
altogether and go with Agg except that the anti-aliased graphs that look
so great, print poorly.. :-(  Is there a way to turn off the
anti-aliasing?  It would be *great* to be able to drop that GD
dependency.
