   Transform nodes

The Transform category of the node palette.

Add these from Transform in the node menu. Each links to its own page.

  Move - copy geometry stepped along a from->to vector (n copies); the geometry-vector twin of Translate XY.

  Reverse Direction - flip which way a curve runs; not the same as Reverse, which reorders a list.

  Translate XY - copy geometry stepped by a typed X/Y offset (n copies), each a distinct group; the numeric twin of Move.

  Rotate - n rotated copies of geometry about a center point; or wire a value Field into Angle to rotate each item in place by the image (a flow/orientation field).

  Scale - resize geometry by a uniform factor about a center (its own centroid if no Center is wired); wire a value Field into Scale for per-item image-driven halftones.

  Mirror - reflect geometry across an axis line through Axis Start -> Axis End; Add OG keeps the original alongside the mirror.

  Offset - offset geometry by a signed distance; corner 0 Sharp/1 Round/2 Chamfer/3 None.

  Fillet - round corners with tangent arcs of a set radius (corners where two straight edges meet; radius auto-clamped to fit each corner).

  Chamfer - bevel corners with straight edges (the straight cousin of Fillet); Edges = bevel segments per corner (1 = a flat bevel, higher = a faceted round).

  Array - copy geometry into a countX x countY grid at Spacing X / Y.

  Array: Directed - lattice array along two basis vectors; Vector 1/2 as a segment (a->b) or a point tip + Base point (tip - base); for sheared / oblique / hex lattices; Deskew (0/1/2) keeps it from leaning.

  Place - stamp a copy of a geometry onto every point in a list; its Base Point lands on each point (centroid if unwired).

  PlaceVariant - stamp one member of a Collection onto each site, chosen by Index (0-based, wraps).

  RotateVariant - the rotational twin of PlaceVariant: at each site it stamps a rotational rosette whose every copy is an independent member of a Collection, rotated about Base.

  MirrorVariant - the reflection twin of PlaceVariant: at each site a mirrored pair whose original and reflection are each an independent member of a Collection, across an Axis (Axis A->Axis B).

  RotateMirrorVariant - the dihedral twin: at each site a mirrored rotational rosette (kaleidoscope) whose every copy is an independent member of a Collection - each rotation slot gets the tile AND its reflection.

  Polar Warp - wrap a geometry's bounding-box domain onto an annulus (inner/outer radius); its X becomes angle (edges meet on +Y), its Y becomes radius.
