All this sounds great. There has been some (off-list) discussion
recently about making it easier to support third-party backends (i.e.
backends that are maintained separately from the rest of the matplotlib
tree). This Quartz backend may be a good test candidate for that
(though I wouldn't

MPL is really only a 2D system -- there's been talk of the next
generation version building 3D in, but we're really not there yet.

Fair enough, and MPL as a whole could learn from your work too. Do
please report your progress.

Michael,
I'm sorry. I just realized I hadn't replied to you yet; sorry for the
delay. John also pointed us to the transforms branch and that's where
we'll start. Thanks! There's no real advantage to CoreAnimation per se
(except eye candy), but going native for rendering would allow mpl

I was just wondering what the status of the CocoaAgg backend is since
there is not much info available.
Can it be used interactively w/ipython?
Can it be used to embed mpl in a cocoa app and take advantage of all
the xcode/interface builder stuff in OS X?
Thanks-

Thanks for the background Barry.
I was asking because I have a bit of image processing/analysis code
(numpy/mpl/pil) that I would like to build a GUI front-end for. As I
am a recent convert to the osx world, I thought it would be very slick
to be able to do this with the xcode/IB tools. Since

The CocoaAgg backend is not supported in IPython.
Though we'd love to support it, were a few patches to land our way :)

Stephen,
The CocoaAgg backend is not supported in IPython. You can use it in
the non-interactive form (i.e. with a pylab.show() but you will have
to close the window in order to return control to the IPython shell).
It is possible to embed an MPL plot in a Cocoa application using the
same

I don't know for a fact, but the answer is probalby no. Each GUI
