This is not an urgent project.  I'm going to finish work on the canvas
objects first, and use them for a couple of applications such as a 2D mesh 
slicer and a multiple peak fitter.  It will be a couple of months before
we need to address log scales.

I wonder if it is worth refactoring the code with the idea of allowing
transforms to be implemented in Python+Numpy.  It will mean redoing
data structures so that vertices for things like line collections and
tic marks are stored in dense arrays which can be transformed en masse
rather than point by point.  I haven't looked closely enough to see how
ambitious this proposal would be.
