ViewportCanvas Class

A canvas that transforms the coordinates of it's children to the own visual before arranging them. It is used to have an overlay of non-scaled object on top of a scaled object, where the coordinates of the overlay objects are expressed in the coordinate system of the scaled object (World). One major use case are e.g. pin points on a map, where the map scales, while the pin points only move but keep their size. While the Canvas only accepts one of Left/Right or Top/Bottom, with the ViewportCanvas you can specify both to stretch the object accordingly to the transformation.
