Hello Konstantin,

The parameters to openslide-write-png have the same semantics as those to
openslide_read_region(): x and y are always coordinates in layer 0.  In
the C API, you can use openslide_get_layer_downsample() to get the
downsampling factor for each layer.  Unfortunately, these values are not
included in the output of openslide-show-properties.

However, for Mirax, each layer should be exactly a factor of 2 downsample
from the previous layer, so I can't explain your 204.8 value.
