Is it possible to specify a path object that will use different
transforms for different vertices?

This is again related to plotting a box whose height is specified by
data coords, but whose width is a constant in axes coords regardless
of scale (so linear and log x-scales would produce a box of the same
width).

Ideally, I would draw a path like this:
1. the center of the box would be located at x and bottom and top
would be y1, y2, all in data coords
2. I would move to (x,y1) at the bottom-center of the box.
3. The x value would now need to be converted to Axes coords, possibly
by applying transData + transAxes.inverted
4. I would want to draw a line to (x-0.1, y1) where x is now in axes
coords and y is still in data coords.  Then up, then right, then down,
and then close the polygon.

How do I implement this?

As I mentioned before, a blended transform would allow me to make the
moves i am interested in.  However, a change of scale would change the
correspondence between data and axes coords, so the axes transform
part of the blended axes would have to be recomputed everytime the
scale changes based on where the (x,y1) point lands in the axes.  Is
this correct?

Any suggestions are welcome...thanks!
