transform coordinate system

[Tim Bücker]

Hello.

I want to set my coordinate-system-origin (0/ 0) to the bottom-left corner.
How is that done in C# the best way?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetings,
Tim.

I assume you are using the GDI + wrapper of System.Drawing.dll.

You may call TranslateTransform on the System.Drawing.Graphics instance
to perform a translation.

You need both a negative scaling in the y dimension and a transform
equivalent to the height of the document. This post has code for you:

The GDI+ FAQ has an answer to this one and also explains how to get text to
come out the right way up after you've performed the transform
