Answer 1

One solution would be to use the TranslateTransform property. Then, instead of using the Point/PointF structs you could create a FlippedPoint/FlippedPointF structs of your own that have implicit casts to Point/PointF (but by casting them the coords get flipped):

public struct FlippedPoint
{
    public int X { get; set; }
    public int Y { get; set; }

    public FlippedPoint(int x, int y) : this()
    { X = x; Y = y; }

    public static implicit operator Point(FlippedPoint point)
    { return new Point(-point.X, -point.Y); }

    public static implicit operator FlippedPoint(Point point)
    { return new FlippedPoint(-point.X, -point.Y); }
}
