Transformations workspace

Transformations controls

Common controls for all transformations.

All transformation types (modes) share a common workspace, so you can mix different transformations in a single session.

1

Transformation toolbar (detailed description below).

2

Transformation type (mode) selector; here shown in the default Basic transformation mode.

3

Control handles are slightly different for different transformation types.

4

Control cage is a bounding box of the object: the smallest rectangle circumscribing the object.
More in Transformation control cage.


Transformations toolbar

Mix the transformation types.

Each transformation tool uses the same common toolbar

1

icon/cancel

Cancel

closes the tool without applying changes.

2

icon/lock_open_outline

Unlock bounding box

Allows you to transform the bounding box (transformation cage) only. See Adjusting the control cage.

3

icon/dropdown_arrow

Transformation mode selector

(See below.)

4

icon/flip_horizontal

Flip

flips the object horizontally. See Horizontal Flip.

5

icon/rotate_right

Rotate 45°

rotates the object in 45° increments clockwise. See Incremental rotation.

6

icon/stamp

Stamp

Creates a copy of transformed object. See Transformation Stamp.

7

icon/confirm

Confirm

Closes the tool applying the changes.


Transformation mode selector

1

Move-scale-rotate tools:

2

icon/transform_basic

Basic transformation

Basic move-scale-rotate tool

3

icon/transform_anchor

Anchor transformation

Move-scale-rotate with an anchor point

4

Distortion tools:

5

icon/transform_distort

Distort transformation

Skew and distort tool

6

icon/transform_warp

Warp transformation

Free-form deformation tool


In one session you can apply each transformation tool as many times as needed.


Transformation control cage

Control the transformation.

Control cage (bounding box) is the main control for every transformation.

1

Control cage is a bounding box of the object: the smallest rectangle circumscribing the object.

Note that In Infinite Painter 7 the bounding box is aligned to the edges of the canvas (in earlier versions of the app the control cage wasn't aligned).

2

Control handles (control points)

Drag them to manipulate or deform the object. Learn more in descriptions of each transformation tool (mode).

3

Deformation grid

In Distort and Warp modes the control cage displays a grid to show the deformation.


You can transform the control cage independently from the object if necessary. Learn more in Adjusting the control cage.
