This is handled in a more general way by storing transformation matrices
in the axes object. These matrices can be used by any backend (and they
are used as xform matrices in the OpenGL renderer). These are accessible
through hidden properties in the axes object.

The 3.1.50 snapshot contains an experimental OpenGL renderer and
FLTK backend. It's still in embryonic stage, but it can already render
lines, surfaces and patches. The big missing for the moment is text
support.
