Thank You for this explanation. As suggested by Krzysztof I changed the matrix to be an identity one, but then why can't I see any changes in the application. I mean nothing is happening by changing it to identity matrix. But as told, _doc2dt represents the mapping of co-ordinates of two spaces, the thing must show change after changing this matrix to an identity one. I can only report that previously this was the matrix(1,0,0,-1,0,document->height) and i changed it to (1,0,0,1,0,document->height); I hope I did it correctly.I did this change just in the local copy of _doc2dt and nothing happened.

There are two coordinate spaces: the document space, which corresponds
to the SVG specification, and the desktop space, which is the same
except it has the Y axis flipped, and is used to position items on the
canvas. What we want is to change the desktop space to be identical to
the desktop space. _doc2dt determines the mapping between the document
space and desktop space, so we need to change it to the identity
matrix to make those two spaces identical.

Regards, Krzysztof
