renegadex has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i was using the scale method of goo canvas and when i increase the scale by 1% the item moves by a certain amount. is there a way to avoid the moving? i was trying to counter the moving by using the translate method. but i couldnt get the right amount. also is there a way to get the x and y coordinate of an item inside the canvas? and also getting the x and y coordinates of the mouse inside the item. meaning the 0,0 coordinate is located at the top left most corner of the item.
