Description

We could improve greatly our integration with matplotlib by subclassing AxesImage and directly using the pixelization routines to generate the final bitmap, rather than manually watching for event changes. This would (for free?) get us a considerable number of additional improvements, including improvements to support and interoperability with artists in matplotlib and the like.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current yt pixelization routines and compare with matplotlib's AxesImage implementation. Identify the methods to override to directly use pixelization output as the image bitmap. Consider how to handle event updates and artist interoperability.
