Hi,
Is there any reason that adding a backend requires modifying both rcsetup.py and the __init__.py in the backends subdirectory? Couldn't rcsetup.py fetch the list from the __init__.py (or vice-versa)?
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,
rcsetup can't get it from backends/__init__.py because that would set a backend selection in stone. But backends/__init__.py can get it from rcsetup, and I am in the process of making that change on the trunk. This duplication had annoyed me earlier, but I didn't do anything about it then. Thanks for the prompt.
Are you actually looking into adding a new backend?

Good to know. If you can't get to it, let me know and I'll take a stab.

Yeah. I'm finally getting back around to the OpenGL backend I've been kicking around for awhile now, based (right now) on Gtk. gtkglext (which has python bindings) will let you render to a pixmap, so that should make it easy to integrate into the current matplotlib way of doing things. If things go well, I should have more on this after awhile.

It's done now.

Is the motivation 3D plotting?

I am all ears....
