    A helper class to implement a renderer that switches between

        Parameters
        ----------
        figure : `matplotlib.figure.Figure`
            The figure instance.

        width : scalar
            The width of the canvas in logical units

        height : scalar
            The height of the canvas in logical units

        dpi : float
            The dpi of the canvas

        vector_renderer : `matplotlib.backend_bases.RendererBase`
            An instance of a subclass of
            `~matplotlib.backend_bases.RendererBase` that will be used for the
            vector drawing.

        raster_renderer_class : `matplotlib.backend_bases.RendererBase`
            The renderer class to use for the raster drawing.  If not provided,
            this will use the Agg backend (which is currently the only viable
            option anyway.)
