I think that's a great project idea -- nice and contained with an obvious goal. I'd be happy to help out with that, as I probably know as much about the new backend interfaces as anyone. I am also willing to mentor the project I volunteered for last year (the student dropped out in the

That was to extract the math expression rendering engine out as a separate project. It's hairier than it sounds, because it requires separating out the freetype wrappers as well, and parts of all the backends. But this is something the Sympy and Sage folks were very interested in last year

[Matplotlib-users] pdf backend always uses solid_joinstyle=miter

Hi, I have been unable to get the pdf backend to respect the settings for solid_joinstyle properly. When doing a plot using the default matplotlibrc I get rounded joins when saving as png but mitered when using pdf. I have also tried to set the joinstyle=round directly in the plot command

Does this get you close? It seems what your trying to do might be a bit ambiguous, but I understand the problem with the y-axis when there are lots of subplots. Maybe it would be better to change the y-ticker to make fewer ticks or the labels to be smaller. -Chip from matplotlib import
