Right, there's a world_to_pixel and pixel_to_world.
These are part of the render_handler base class and all renderers must implement them.

I think setInfinite() is a lot more descriptive than setWorld(). So we can eliminate confusion there.

Okay, I propose we also rename Range2d::setWorld to Range2d::setFinite (and related methods). That way, I think we'll have only one use for the word "world", which is in the character class.
