hi all,

Is it possible to reset the originating x and y in svg without a
browser and the viewBox attribute? To explain briefly my problem. I
want to render numerous UK county outlines in their own svg documents.
However, all the coords to create the polygons for the outlines are
derived from UK ordnance survey data. This means that the x and y
origins all start from bottom left of the UK (near the Scilly Isles)
and so rendering  say  a county in the middle of the UK leaves a large
amount of whitespace to the left and also below (I already do the
minus conversion on the y axis to render that correctly rather than
use scale(1 -1) ).

I need, if possible, to _shift_ the rendered county towards the bottom
left origin point thus keeping the area smaller and focusing solely on
the rendered county. .e.g. render all counties into their own 500,500
svg document.

Looking over the spec I've tried variations on translate() and
viewBox, but I think these mainly work when rendered via a browser?
I'm rendering the counties down to specific files and then checking
them via Inkscape so I can then eventually output them as PNG's. 

Can anyone give me any pointers on if this is possible and how I might
attack it pls?

TIA,
Paul
