WinMap - Map one window on to another by scaling and shifting each axis

Description:
A Winmap is a linear Mapping which transforms a rectangular window in one coordinate system into a similar window in another coordinate system by scaling and shifting each axis (the window edges being parallel to the coordinate axes).

A WinMap is specified by giving the coordinates of two opposite corners (A and B) of the window in both the input and output coordinate systems.

Constructor Function:
astWinMap

Inheritance
The WinMap class inherits from the Mapping class.

Attributes
The WinMap class does not define any new attributes beyond those which are applicable to all Mappings.

Functions
The WinMap class does not define any new functions beyond those which are applicable to all Mappings.
