I am very glad to hear that has been cleaned up since those

I have looked at so far.

For the old wxwidgets device driver, example 8 affine transformations
were correct for some backends but not others.  For example,

examples/c/x08c -dev wxwidgets -drvopt backend=0

(the basic backend)

gives bad affine transformations very similar to what you have
now with your rewritten device driver while

examples/c/x08c -dev wxwidgets -drvopt backend=2

(the wxGC backend) has good affine transformations.

So assuming that there are no changes on the wxwidgets library
side with the definition of coordinates between the component
of that library used for the backend=2 case on the old wxwidgets
device driver and the component of that library used by
your rewritten device driver, then blindly copying the affine
transformations used for the wxGC case should work.

Sounds Good!
