// Initializes the denorm for a transformation. For details see the large

// Arguments:
// block: if not nullptr, then this is the first transformation, and
//        block->re_rotation() needs to be used after the Denorm
//        transformation to get back to the image coords.
// rotation: if not nullptr, apply this rotation after translation to the
//           origin and scaling. (Usually a classify rotation.)
// predecessor: if not nullptr, then predecessor has been applied to the
//              input space and needs to be undone to complete the inverse.
// The above pointers are not owned by this DENORM and are assumed to live
// longer than this denorm, except rotation, which is deep copied on input.
//
// x_origin: The x origin which will be mapped to final_xshift in the result.
// y_origin: The y origin which will be mapped to final_yshift in the result.
//           Added to result of row->baseline(x) if not nullptr.
//
// x_scale: scale factor for the x-coordinate.
// y_scale: scale factor for the y-coordinate. Ignored if segs is given.
// Note that these scale factors apply to the same x and y system as the
// x-origin and y-origin apply, ie after any block rotation, but before
// the rotation argument is applied.
//
// final_xshift: The x component of the final translation.
// final_yshift: The y component of the final translation.
