Remarks
The ICanvasRenderingContext2D::translate method effectively remaps the (0,0) origin on a canvas. You can specify one or both parameters. When you call a canvas method such as ICanvasRenderingContext2D::lineTo, the translate value is added to the respective x-coordinate and y-coordinate values. ICanvasRenderingContext2D::translate does not return an error if either value or any derived value is out of the canvas dimensions.
