When a MIDlet uses multiple threads to access a record store, it is the MIDlet's responsibility to coordinate this access; if it fails to do so, unintended consequences may result.

Then, you create a new coordinate system that's centered within your display using translate and store this matrix.

Next, rotate and store this matrix; then, offset from the current coordinate system with translate (which is applied from the previously rotated and translated matrices), and draw a red ellipse.
