Chris,

The transformer is an actual function while the transformarg is the
private data used by the transformer to keep track of what it is
supposed to do.  The GDALTransformerFunc concept is documented at:

   http://gdal.org/gdal__alg_8h.html#9ad4227ec5fd5b70637eeb6996172318

You can also get there by following the GDALTransformerFunc link from the
GDALSuggestedWarpOutput() documentation you referenced.

You can implement your own transformation function though that should
rarely be needed.  The GDALTransformFunc docs list some of the common
implementations.  But for your case you will presumably want to use
GDALGenImgProjTransform.

Best regards,
