I remember that I tried to use your patch, but all the links that I
found were broken. So I wrote a few lines for monkey patching. It was
straight forward as I only needed a rasterization of the QuadMesh
class.
Are you planning to commit your patch to the trunk? I'll be glad to
help you if there are any issues.

I've been trying to track down some strange behavior I was getting,
and I think narrowed it down to some code that I'll paste below.
I'm trying to write to .eps files, and when I have usetex=True,
something is screwed up with the padding on the left, and eventually
the whole image is just white.
If I run this script, the 'testA-*.eps' look good, but 'testB-*' does
not. The same problem happens even if I remove the ticklabels.
Any tips would be appreciated.
thanks,
Ken
