One more thought -- you should be able to turn off the antialiased property, eg with plot(x, y, antialiased=False) Unfortunately, I poked into our backend_pdf and it appears this property is ignored. Jouni: is there a way to turn off antialiasing in PDF, and could we add support for this in the backend?
