A (new) cairo backend for Matplotlib
This is a new, essentially complete implementation of a cairo backend for Matplotlib. It can be used in combination with a Qt5, GTK3, Tk, wx, or macOS UI, or noninteractively (i.e., to save figure to various file formats). Noteworthy points include: - Improved accuracy (e.g., with marker positioning, quad meshes, and text kerning). - Support for a wider variety of font formats, such as otf and pfb, for vector (PDF, PS, SVG) backends (Matplotlib's Agg backend also supports such fonts). - Optional support for complex text layout (right-to-left languages, etc.) using Raqm. - Support for embedding URLs in PDF (but not SVG) output. - Support for multi-page output both for PDF and PS (Matplotlib only supports multi-page PDF). - Support for custom blend modes (see `examples/operators.py`).
