Hi,

from what I understood you can use cairo_matrix_transform_point() on the
old four points and by applying all the transformations you piled up on
the CTM. In your example that transformations would be:

    cairo_matrix_init_scale(transformations, 2, 2)
    cairo_matrix_translate(transformations, some_x, some_y)

If you do not have access anymore to the transformations you applied,
you can get them knowing the old and the actual CTM:

    # To be tested
    cairo_matrix_invert(old_ctm)
    cairo_matrix_multiply(transformations, ctm, old_ctm)

Ciao.
