aligning images on the JSVGCanvas

All images i display on the JSVGCanvas are being displayed in the center of
the canvas thus giving problems when calculating x and y coords of elements
to be added. any one any idea on how to Pack the canvas or set the image to
the top-left hand corner of the canvas? my canvas is placed inside a
JInternalFrame  which is inturn inside a JTabbedFrame. Does this make any
difference?

Thanks in advance
