Without expressing any other opinion at the moment, I'd just like to  
clarify how Opera's implementation of getPixel/setPixel currently follows  
the coordinate space, as Vlad is suggesting here, disregarding any  
translation and rotation. Given the following script snippet:

   gc =  
document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0].getContext('opera-2dgame');
   for ( var y = 50; y < 100; y++){
     for (var x = 50; x < 100; x++){
       gc.setPixel(x,y,"blue");
     }
   }

... with this CSS:

   canvas  {
     width: 200px;
     height: 200px;
     border: 1px solid black;
   }

and the following markup:

   <canvas width="100" height="100">

we fill the bottom-right quadrant of the canvas, with a rectangle that is  
comprised of 100x100 CSS pixels.
