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'?
I would definitely lean toward the latter -- unify it under a single rcParam.
