I'm rendering some images with about 3.5 million triangles into a

available, to make tricontourf use the rendering hardware? Will
that happen by default?
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.

Thanks very much for the reply. If it helps whoever is doing the OpenGL
backend, I may be able to play with it a bit.
