By manipulate, I mean simple scaling and translation. Nothing exotic.
The application on which I'm working just draws the SVG polylines on
top of the image.

Then what's the point of the SVGImageElement object?

Ah. This is what I'm already doing and that's exactly the problem I'm
having.
I'd like to either work at the SVG level or the GVT level. GVT is
fine with me if I can figure out how to change colors of the vector
elements but that seems also to be a dead end. Or am I again missing
some subtlety of the TextPainter object and its relatives? There
seems to be no method to manipulate text color.
