simple api question

Thanks, that worked for the line being plotted, although the legend box
and axis are still aliased. Part of my requirements include supporting
presentation quality printing. I would like to just use Agg as GD has
dependency issues and keeps popping up other problems ( not to mention
how great the Agg output looks ). But that great looking anti-aliasing
doesn't print well, so ideally there would be a 'global' level flag that
controls aliasing ( or not ) for everything drawn. I know when the
image is being created for viewing or for printing and so can set the
flag accordingly.

There is no way to set antialiased on the renderer itself, just on the
individual objects (lines etc).

plot([1,2,3], antialiased=False)

or

lines = plot(x1,y1,x2,y2)
set(lines, 'antialiased', False)

or set lines.antialiased in matplotlibrc to the default you want.

Unfortunately, agg does not yet respect antialiased == False for all
primitives, currently only lines.
