Isn't that what you wanted?

Try this:

    cairo_save(cr);
    cairo_translate(cr, target_x, target_y);
    cairo_scale(cr, 0.5, 0.5);
    // note: it's important to set the source after setting up the
    // user space transformation.
    cairo_set_source_surface(cr, local_surf, 0, 0);
    cairo_paint(cr);
    cairo_restore(cr);

What is 'matrix' here?

In any case, the pattern matrix transforms coordinates from user space
to pattern space; multiplying the coordinates by 2 will result in the
appearance of the pattern to shrink to 50% its original size.
