Rotating the TileGrid? @Tom

I am trying to rotate a map around an arbitrary point.
On my first attempt, I just messed around with the transformation matrix of the map and the result was almost OK: you could see the tiles' boundaries - I'm guessing it's due so some rounding error somewhere-.
So I looked into the TileGrid's onRender method and in line 430 I found a comment relating to this issue (and referring to Tom).

Tom: what should I do to get rotation right?

many thanks,

Actually this is the opposite question from the thread you mention.
What I am trying to do is to define a marker that has a pixel-coordinate location instead of LatLong. If I'm not mistaken, the way to track panning and zooming is to use a markerclip.
So, I need a way to map absolute pixel coordinates to screen coordinates.
Any ideas?

many thanks

positioning markers given a location in the map image (1:1)

I would like to show markers whose location I know as an absolute coordinate in pixels in the underlying map image (zoom 1:1) and not as a LatLng.
I tried tweaking the MarkerClip class but to no avail (I couldn't follow the multiple conversions from image point to Coordinate, etc.. ).
What's the best-practice to achieve this?

How do I compute the transformation matrix ?

I am using tile-sets that can be selected by the user at runtime.
Each set has its own coordinates, so I cannot use the transformation calculator you have online.
Question:
Given the boundaries of the map at the deepest zoom (1:1), how do I convert points in the image to coordinates (and viceversa)?

many thanks,

How to display small bitmaps as overlays?

I need to display images as overlays, where their bounding box is tied to specific coordinates.
How can this be done ?
