I'm curious what Cocoa and CoreAnimation might enable... If you are looking into writing a Quartz rendering backend, you may want to start with the matplotlib transforms branch (which should become the trunk shortly, once the 0.91 release bugs get shaken out.) The number of methods that a backend writer must provide has been greatly reduced on that branch.
