Chaco may be formidable and complex, but so is the list of features
and requirements you just posted.  What about just focusing on a Pylab
wrapper for Chaco?  And working with Peter to make Chaco everything
you envison.  Or does Chaco have the same needs-a-rewrite architecture
issues as the mpl?

Just to be clear, I don't have any first hand experience with Chaco,
other than running the demos once.  The main problems with Chaco I'm
aware of are 1) entanglement with the rest of ETS, which they're
working on,  2) no pylab like easy-to-use interface.
