I disagree. As an average user, I feel quite lost in this section especially with the "two-dimensional" extents. Some images and the explanation from Janek, what and where a reference point is and how extents are defined, would help a lot here. A look at that image tells you almost all you need to know about shifts and reference points. The CG is too far away from the normal user. I would only put the part on scheme functions there. »An image tells you more than a thousand words« is a German saying which applies very well to this section, IMHO. But I think that lacks at many places in the docs: images. They are very text-centred and sometimes an image would be much quicke to understand than pages of text. This particularly applies to spacing and positioning issues.
