+    sees the same content in the middle of the screen when using multiple
+    devices with different screen sizes or simply resizes the browser window.
+    That means we want to save the center position of the graph visualization
+    in the database graph object.
+    So every time we get a screen position object from the database or
+    save one to the database, we need to transform it first with this function.
