You could have a look to eelibs_draw_components.cpp
(see DrawTextField() and DrawLibPartAux().).

Coordinates are for a "normal" orientation component.
Each component put in a schematic has an "orientation matrix" which 
reflects its orientation and mirroring option.
and screen coordinates are calculated from the coordinates (given in 
normal orientation) and the orientation matrix component.
