  Description     : Rendering as a binning process

 In most visualization systems, the pixels are tucked away under
 levels of geometric abstraction in the rendering system (such as
 circles, squares, and text). Abstract Rendering takes the opposite
 approach: expose the pixels and gain powerful pixel-level
 control. This pixel-level power is a complement to many existing
 visualization techniques. It is an elaboration on rendering, not an
 analytic or projection step, so it can be used as epilogue to many
 existing techniques.

This is a dependency for bokeh 0.9.3 (and probably later)

I have my preliminary packaging at https://github.com/detrout/python-abstract-
rendering
Though I need to figure out how to adapt it for the python modules team.
