problem with right-to-left languages
------------------------------------

                 Key: UDIG-1709
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1709
             Project: uDIG
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools and editing
    Affects Versions: UDIG 1.2.RC3
         Environment: XP, JRE 1.5
            Reporter: ferez
            Priority: Critical


I executed uDig using a right-to-left language (I used the option -nl fa  - fa for the Farsi language) and there is a big problem. I loaded a shapefile (usa_counties.shp) and tried to use "select feature" tool but it seems that coordinates are right-to-lefted too! The position box below the Map Editor shows the wrong position (mirrored position). When you click at the right side of the map editor, a feature in the left side get highlighted and selected!

To remake the situation just run the uDig using the option -nl fa, open a shapefile, and try to use the "select feature" tool on the toolbar.

Here is Jody's suggestion to resolve the problem:
- a method for MapDisplay that returns the screen "orientation"
- an additional "flip" flag for the ScaleUtils.pixelToWorld method
- add a method ScaleUtils.pixelToWorld( x, y, bounds, size, orientation )
