WebAgg backend
--------------

Michael Droettboom, Phil Elson and others have developed a new
backend, WebAgg, to display figures in a web browser. It works with
animations as well as being fully interactive.

Future versions of matplotlib will integrate this backend with the
IPython notebook for a fully web browser based plotting frontend.
