offset	[pair!]

Notes and Examples

Multiple translate commands will have a cumulative effect:

fill-pen blue box 50x50 150x150 translate 50x50 fill-pen red box 50x50 150x150 translate 50x50 fill-pen yellow box 50x50 150x150

You can use RESET-MATRIX to avoid that if you want:

fill-pen blue box 50x50 150x150 translate 50x50 fill-pen red box 50x50 150x150 reset-matrix translate 50x50 fill-pen yellow box 100x100 300x300

Another way to reset the matrix is to use the PUSH command:

fill-pen blue box 50x50 150x150 push [translate] translate 50x50 fill-pen yellow box 100x100 300x300
