If you give the "imagemask" operator an identity matrix, then it will
operate in the device coordinate system and will not attempt to do any
transformations of any kind of the bits you give it. If you give it an
identity matrix with an (x,y) transform component, i.e. 
	1 0 0
matrix=	0 1 0
	x y 1
then it will still operate in the device coordinate system, but offset
by x horizontal pixels and y vertical pixels. I have a vague memory
that the device coordinate system as used by imagemask is upside
down--that (0,0) is in the upper left corner and Y is down--but I'm not
sure of it. 

I believe that it will also work properly with the transformation
matrix mirrored horizontally or rotated 180 degrees.
