Ahh yes. The copy_from_bbox / restore_region was conceived as an aid to animation and I don't think I've used it in the context of savefig where none of the artists are involved in the restored region. Ie, in a typical animation use case, you draw the axes, background and ticks, store the region, and then animate a line on top of it. When you go to savefig, the axes background is redrawn because the associated artists already reside in the figure, along with the line in its final state. It should be fairly easy to expose the agg BufferRegion object in the artist API, so you could grab a buffer region from one canvas, bless it as an artist, and add it to the figure or another figure, with the x and y location attrs exposed so it could be easily moved. In this case you would get the zorder for free. This would help some, and would certainly address the case at hand, but the really big win would probably be something more like the chaco model, where each zorder is rendered onto a different rendering buffer, with a fairly straight-forward way to just re-render certain planes. This would certainly be harder. Could you elaborate a bit on your use case, which will help me in thinking about how this should be done?
