[comp.lang.postscript] Will scale take negative args

mark@hpcvlx.HP.COM (Mark Rowe) (05/24/88)

A -1 -1 scale would in effect flip the image about the the x axis and then
flip it about the y axis.  This would result in the quadrant I portion of
the image winding up in quadrant III but the double flip would leave the
image uninverted.  It is in effect a 180 degree rotation about the origin.
