Now I understand wot you mean when you say matplotlib backend! :) sorry eventually I got the point... anyway thats great, using the same code that matplotlib use, and at the end be able to decide to plot a pretty png, render a javascript that uses FLOT or maybe a good PDF for inclusion in latex document... or even better using same pstrick and output directly the graph into latex...
I will open the matplob lib code and I'll try to understand how it manage the varoius backends and hopefully write a simple FLOT render... just for fun and to see if the community like it!
