Interesting request. Looking through the backends, it appears that only
the Cairo backend currently supports a configurable rcParam for the default
filetype ('cairo.format'). All backends implement a
"get_default_filetype()" method for their canvases, but most of them have
that default hard-coded as "png". This really only makes sense for
backends like agg, pdf, ps and such.
Devs - Maybe we should consider fixing this for the non-fileformat specific
backends? Do we want an rcParam for each backend? Or a single rcParam for
default filetypes and deprecate 'cairo.format'?
Cheers!
