Transformations

This facility is a tool used to transform subpictures or geometry items. It is also used when modelling to describe a transformation in a certain view. The tool will normally be entered by requesting the user to select an activity like scale, move However, in some situations it will be entered directly in dragging mode, that means, the entity to transform will be connected to the mouse for positioning in the drawing. Apart from this, the behavior will be the same independently of the invoking circumstances.

The transformation facility will throughout this manual be referred to as "PERFORM TRANSFORMATION".
