Re: [matplotlib-devel] incorrect rendering of quadratic bezier path in ps and pdf backend

Thanks for taking this on.  That was completely my bad -- I put that 
code in there as a reasonable approximation and meant to go back and fix 
it, but it fell through the cracks.

One small note -- the PDF output was broken for acroread (but strangely 
not for xpdf), since it was outputting 8 values rather than 6 for the 
converted quadratic curves.  I've fixed this in SVN.

Cheers,
Mike
