Ultimately, I have some rectangular area on the 2D screen of an

I then apply a translation to this rectangle and it ends up
somewhere else on that screen. Assuming that the rectangle's
superview was not translated along as well, I cannot see how the
coordinates of the rectangle's center would not have changed.
Your confusing the geometric center of the view's rectangle with the
center property of the view. Specifically in code if you do this:
CGPoint c = view.center;
view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(20, 20);
CGPoint visualCenter = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(view.frame),
CGRectGetMidY(view.frame));
CGPoint c2 = view.center;
Then you will find that c == c2, c != visualCenter, and c2 !=
visualCenter.
This is why using translations for transforms is very confusing. You
expect the center of the view to change, but it does not. This is by
design.
Ok, simple enough. But, then, IMHO, "center" is a terrible name for
the view.center property.
