I wrote a printer emulation view that needed to rotate itself for landscape printing.
In the init method, I create and retain a NSAffineTransform to handle he rotation
toLandscape = [[NSAffineTransform transform] retain];
//we move down and then rotate
[toLandscape translateXBy:0 yBy:[self frame].size.height];
[toLandscape rotateByDegrees:-90];


In the drawRect: method, I apply the transform if needed
	//each new page needs to have transformation applied
	if (isLandscape) {
		[toLandscape concat];
	}
	//draw stuff

I've spent the last two weeks fighting with this and I've almost got it
working, but I'm missing something. I also think I might be making it too
hard so any advice that you have would be really appreciated!


I've simplified my code to just draw a border around the entire envelope. I
think that if I get that working, all of my other code will work as well.
Right now, it prints inverted (correct), but the border for my view is a few
points off of the edge of the page so the entire thing is unable to fit on
the physical envelope (it bleeds off the edge of the right side but is all
white space on the left side).


I hope I haven't included too much introduction or code, but I'm not sure
which of my functions is the problem (maybe all of them are).


Thanks in advance!
