You have to look at the code very carefully. But, if there is a spot where
there is a scale function already done, change the x or y value by putting
a `neg' after that number. You will also have translate the coordinates
of the x or y, whichever you negated. I suggest doing the translate before
the scale, otherwise you have to remember to use a negative of the direction
you really want to go.
Good luck.
