<p>The point coordinates sent to the emitters are the transformed version of the original coordinates (this is important for high accuracy during scan-conversion). The transformation is simple:</p>

x' = (x << shift) - delta
y' = (y << shift) - delta
</pre>
<p>Set the values of ‘shift’ and ‘delta’ to 0 to get the original point coordinates.</p>
