You are correct, there is no graphics hardware rendering. Rendering is
controlled by the various matplotlib backends, and to my knowledge there
are no backends currently available that use hardware rendering.
There has been some work done on an OpenGL backend, but I am not sure of
the status of this. The last time I checked it was pretty experimental.
Perhaps someone involved with it can comment on its current status.
