You can use gnome_canvas_item_affine_relative().

You should pick up any book on analytic geometry or computer graphics
and give a read to what it has to say on affine transformations.
Basicallly, an affine transformation in 2D is a matrix that you can
use to transform a point.

You can set up these matrices using the art_affine_*() functions in
libart.
