The GD output looks good when printed, maybe I will switch between the 2
( Agg for display, GD for printing ). The Agg un-aliased lines don't
come out quite as well, they seem to render more of the pixels for each
point on the line. Nice to have the different backend options.

I'll work on getting the rest of the objects to respect the
antialiased flag. You can control antialiasing for all lines globally
with rcParams
