Hi David,

Ah yes, of course you're perfectly correct. If you translate it first the 
translation in the Z direction has no effect, because it's just effectively 
pushing the image into itself.

So you could translate <-2,-2,0> and then rotate x*90, but I think that 
doing the rotate first, as you've done it, is clearer.
