If you give it an identity matrix with an (x,y) transform component, i.e. 1 0 0 matrix= 0 1 0 x y 1 then it will still operate in the device coordinate system, but offset by x horizontal pixels and y vertical pixels. I have a vague memory that the device coordinate system as used by imagemask is upside down--that (0,0) is in the upper left corner and Y is down--but I'm not sure of it. I believe that it will also work properly with the transformation matrix mirrored horizontally or rotated 180 degrees. -- Brian Reid decwrl!glacier!reid Stanford reid@SU-Glacier.ARPA
