Hah, yes, I should have read the question better.
Rereading the question I am actually not sure which of us
interpreted the question correctly :)
Do you support embedding outside images? When I wanted nice
mathematical notation generated quickly in D I have used pyd
to call matplotlib's builtin math rendering (much quicker than
a full latex roundtrip).
You can draw onto any cairo surface, so this should be
possible. You'd just need to figure out how to cast/convert a
matplotlib image to a cairo image.
You just get back an alpha mask as an array of arrays, so it
should be straightforward from there. What would be useful would
be integration with ggplotd so it could be placed appropriately.
Would be even better if e.g. the user could specify a function to
render text and ggplotd would call it with tick label strings etc.
