title: Rotate Text Cairo, Transformation matrix
body: <p><a href="http://www.cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Transformations.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Transformations.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I have been using Cairo Vector Graphics Library for some work, and I quite understand some parts :-</p>
  
  <p>What is the default value of the transformation matrix ?</p>
  
  <p>When do I need the transformation matrix anyway ?</p>
  
  <p>Suppose I don't want to rotate text, will I still need to set it , will it still be set ?</p>
  
  <p>I know it is very nooblike, &amp; I must investigate it on my own, but I cant quite understand it</p>
