-<h3>Affine Transformation Matrix</h3>
-The affine transfomation matrix can optionally be printed with the '-m'
-flag. The format of the matrix is:
-<div class="code" style="width:30%;"><pre>
-| x_offset a b |
-| y_offset d e |
-</pre></div>
-
-This format can be used in the <a href="http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch06.html#id2904406">Affine() function of PostGIS</a>
-[Affine(geom, a, b, d, e, xoff, yoff)], or directly compared to the
-output of a similar operation performed in R.

 <h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
 
 <h3>DXF/DWG drawings</h3>
 
 <p>Most DXF/DWG drawings are done within XY coordinate space. To transform 
 them to a national grid, we can use <em>v.transform</em> together with 
-<em>v.rectify</em> and a first-order 4 point transformation.
