Transformations

The following geometrical transformations are predefined in IPKISS. They can be used to transform (i.e., translate/rotate) geometrical elements and layout instances.

IdentityTransform	Transform that leaves an object unchanged.
Translation	Translation transform: move for a given translation (x, y).
Rotation	Rotation around point rotation_center over a given angle rotation (in degrees).
VMirror	Mirror transformation around y-plane.
HMirror	Mirror transformation around x plane.
CMirror	Mirror around point mirror_center (= 180 degree turn).
Stretch	Non-homothetic scaling.
Magnification	Scaling transformation with respect to a given point magnification_center, magnifying by magnification.
NoDistortTransform	A homothetic transformation that does not distort the item it is applied to (angle conservation)
