OK, but how to be sure this is the correct interpretation?  The code
which implements the rotations does a translation, followed by
rotation, followed by another translation, and multiplies all the 3
matrices to produce the result.  If we are not sure about what these
transformations mean, how do we know the result is correct?  How did
_you_ know to write that code? is there some XRender elated
documentation that describes the meaning of each matrix element?  For
example, do the translations describe how the pixels are moved or how
the origin of the coordinate system is moved?

If everybody and their dog work differently, why are we doing this
according to XRender, and not the other way around?

What do you mean by "invert", and where is that NS code?

And if you figured out how to map what XRender does to what NS does,
you probably understand well what the XRender matrix means, right?

Not sure what you mean by "deal with transposition".

Thanks.
