Hi Thomas.
 
Scarily enough, I do follow most of this.  It appears I did learn something 
working with transforms for translating/scaling/rotating elements a year or so 
ago.
 
> (On change of the rendering transform)
 
So when setRenderingTransform returns, I can assume the changes to the 
JSVGCanvas have occured?  Will this be accurate:
 
public void setRenderingTransform(AffineTransform renderingTransform) {
   super.setRenderingTransform(renderingTransform);
   // Derive corner points here.
}
 
Once the receiving client gets these three points, I'm not clear on how to 
derive the transform from the three points.  That's a math issue, not a Batik 
issue of course.

This is where I start to get confused.  I have to remove the existing VIEWING 
transform to derive the RENDERING transform?  So I "remove" the VIEWING 
transform by doing the inverse, then apply that inverse to the RENDERING 
transform to get the final value?
 
Michael

   I don't think so... 

   Since the rendering transform sits outside of the viewing transform 
if one client has a window that is say 600 pixels wide and is paned over 
so that the left edge is in the middle of the screen their translate 
would be 300.   However if that is applied to a Window that is 1200 
pixels wide the left edge would only be 1/4 of the way across. 

   One way to view this problem is to communicate what points in 
the root SVG element's coordinate system correspond to the corners 
of the window.  With that in mind it's worth noting that a general 
affine transform can be specified by the remapping of three points 
(e.g. top left, top right, and bottom left points that are visible 
in the document).  So you can easily calculate those points by 
mapping the corners of the window to the root SVG element's coordinate 
system (on change of the rendering transform).  If you then send 
those points to the other clients they can calculate the transform 
that would map those same points to the corners of the new client's 
window (probably with some adjustment for aspect ratio - which is 
simple if you don't allow for non-uniform scaling).  You aren't 
done yet because that is the full transform and you need to remove 
the existing viewing transform to know what the rendering transform 
should be.  Fortunately that is simply a matter of inverting the 
viewing transform and multiplying/premultiplying that with the 
'full transform' to get the residual that should be set as the 
rendering transform. 

   I hope that this makes some sense to you.
