dotnet drawing api : Transforms: some good examples?

Since I don't work with graphics often, whenever I come to a point where a
transform would be useful I have to spend a lot of time finding articles
about them and reviewing how they work. Not only that, but I'm not
necessarily aware of the many different problems that can be solved using
transforms. Is there any site out there that gives a good tutorial on them
and (preferably) shows lots of visual examples of the results of various
transforms?

Hmmm, the more I think about it, the more I think I posted this question in
haste. The xxxTransform() methods of the Graphics class are quite
straightforward, and I believe what I was really thinking about are color
transforms and how to set up the corresponding matrices.

Possibly. With transforms you can really on do 3 things, rotate, zoom and
pan. You can skew and probably other stuff as well but I'm yet to find a use
for any of that.

Have you seen my site? There are numerous examples there including a
beginners guide and a good article on animation that has a bunch of tumbling
bouncing objects that all use transforms.

Yes, your site is always the first place I go with a drawing issue. See my
reply to myself; I think I asked the wrong question....
