        <para>
            This routine can be used to apply a translation to a graphics entity.
            If the entity has children, they will be also translated.
        </para>
        <para>
            Given the keyword <literal>"alone"</literal>, only the specified entity needs to be redrawn.
            It must specially be used with the <literal>pixel_drawing_mode</literal>
            property of the figure entity (see draw objects under
            <literal>"xor"</literal> drawing mode).
