Perhaps the situation has improved in four years. The chaco code you linked to is somewhat concerning though. It makes any refactoring somewhat difficult.

Step 1 is now covered by the benchmark suite introduced in #647. Step 2 will follow shortly. Step 3 is covered by #669. Steps 4-6 come later. I'm not sure...

Duplicate of #93... My search for existing issues was not sophisticated enough. (The proposed solution there doesn't actually preserve the aspect ratio when using the example here)

Can we close this now that #389 has been merged?

Output from Enable 5.0.0rc2: ``` Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded function 'GraphicsContextArray_clip_to_rect'. Possible C/C++ prototypes are: kiva::graphics_context_base::clip_to_rect(kiva::rect_type &) kiva::graphics_context_base::clip_to_rect(double,double,double,double) Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded...

I believe its intent is to mirror https://github.com/enthought/enable/blob/master/enable/examples/demo/enable/constraints_demo.py but using Enaml so that the two can be compared.

I don't think `CompiledPath` has any reason to contain a transformation matrix. That said, I think this should give the same result across backends: ```python from math import pi with...

Right. I played around with this a bit in celiagg... I don't think it's actually possible to do this for the implicit path. We could possibly add it to `CompiledPath`,...

Using an external freetype2 would make things more difficult on Windows due its absence in the base system. If that difficultly could be surmounted without too much fuss then we...

I'm happy to explore a solution on Windows if y'all do the initial unbundling.
