Lee,

Yesterday I added new affine transformation example to the SVN trunk.
As haven't published the trunk yet, I attached it.
The program 06_transformation_svg_example.cpp shows how to use
perform transformations (translate, scale, rotate) against simple
polygon (triangle). It also shows quick (a bit brute force) way how to
compose more than one transformations and apply them together in single
pass. The example composes translate and rotate.

The output is written to SVG file (see attached
06_transformation_svg_example.svg), so it's easy to check results.

Note, this example was written in rush tested using Visual C++ 8.0
(VS2005) only, so bugs expected :-)

Hopefully it will help you to achieve your goals.

Best regards,
