I've already mentioned this to you Ed, but for others, just in case:
From in the Library Reference, GsDOBJ2 mentions that the pointer to coord2,
which is of type GsCOORDINATE2, contains a MATRIX, which lets you set the
position, gradient and _size_ of the object. I'm guessing that the MATRIX to
use is the coord one, as in the GsDOBJ reference it says "reflected in the
coordinate system pointed to".

Hope that helps anyone, even Ed, in case he's already forgotten!
