Q&A

Why is it implemented through a widget's canvas rather than just updating the widget's position?

Many layouts, such as BoxLayout and GridLayout, constrain the positions of their children, so moving a widget to an arbitrary position isn't always possible.

Why does it not animate widget sizes?

It used to until version 0.1.x but this feature was dropped in version 0.2.0. The reason is that scaling a widget using kivy.graphics.Scale produces visually unappealing results.
