## Functions

### gimp_item_transform_translate ()

    gint32
    gimp_item_transform_translate (gint32 item_ID,
                                   gdouble off_x,
                                   gdouble off_y);

Translate the item by the specified offsets.

This procedure translates the item by the amounts specified in the off_x and off_y arguments. These can be negative, and are considered offsets from the current position. The offsets will be rounded to the nearest pixel unless the item is a path.

If the item is attached to an image and has its linked flag set to TRUE, all additional items contained in the image which have the linked flag set to TRUE will also be translated by the specified offsets.

#### Parameters

item_ID | The item. |
off_x | Offset in x direction. |
off_y | Offset in y direction. |

#### Returns

The translated item.

### gimp_item_transform_flip_simple ()

    gint32
    gimp_item_transform_flip_simple (gint32 item_ID,
                                     GimpOrientationType flip_type,
                                     gboolean auto_center,
                                     gdouble axis);

Flip the specified item either vertically or horizontally.

This procedure flips the specified item.

If a selection exists and the item is a drawable, the portion of the drawable which lies under the selection is cut from the drawable and made into a floating selection which is then flipped. If auto_center is set to TRUE, the flip is around the selection's center. Otherwise, the coordinate of the axis needs to be specified. The return value is the ID of the flipped floating selection.

If there is no selection or the item is not a drawable, the entire item will be flipped around its center if auto_center is set to TRUE, otherwise the coordinate of the axis needs to be specified. Additionally, if the item has its linked flag set to TRUE, all additional items contained in the image which have the linked flag set to TRUE will also be flipped around the same axis. The return value will be equal to the item ID supplied as input.

This procedure is affected by the following context setters: `gimp_context_set_transform_resize()`.

#### Parameters

item_ID | The affected item. |
flip_type | Type of flip. |
auto_center | Whether to automatically position the axis in the selection center. |
axis | coord. of flip axis. |

#### Returns

The flipped item.

                              gdouble y1);

Flip the specified item around a given line.

This procedure flips the specified item.

If a selection exists and the item is a drawable, the portion of the drawable which lies under the selection is cut from the drawable and made into a floating selection which is then flipped. The axis to flip around is specified by specifying two points from that line. The return value is the ID of the flipped floating selection.

If there is no selection or the item is not a drawable, the entire item will be flipped around the specified axis. Additionally, if the item has its linked flag set to TRUE, all additional items contained in the image which have the linked flag set to TRUE will also be flipped around the same axis. The return value will be equal to the item ID supplied as input.

This procedure is affected by the following context setters: `gimp_context_set_interpolation()`, `gimp_context_set_transform_direction()`, `gimp_context_set_transform_resize()`.

#### Parameters

                                     gdouble y3);

Perform a possibly non-affine transformation on the specified item.

This procedure performs a possibly non-affine transformation on the specified item by allowing the corners of the original bounding box to be arbitrarily remapped to any values.

The 4 coordinates specify the new locations of each corner of the original bounding box. By specifying these values, any affine transformation (rotation, scaling, translation) can be affected. Additionally, these values can be specified such that the resulting transformed item will appear to have been projected via a perspective transform.

If a selection exists and the item is a drawable, the portion of the drawable which lies under the selection is cut from the drawable and made into a floating selection which is then transformed as specified. The return value is the ID of the transformed floating selection.

If there is no selection or the item is not a drawable, the entire item will be transformed according to the specified mapping. Additionally, if the item has its linked flag set to TRUE, all additional items contained in the image which have the linked flag set to TRUE will also be transformed the same way. The return value will be equal to the item ID supplied as input.

This procedure is affected by the following context setters: `gimp_context_set_interpolation()`, `gimp_context_set_transform_direction()`, `gimp_context_set_transform_resize()`.

#### Parameters

item_ID | The affected item. |
x0 | The new x coordinate of upper-left corner of original bounding box. |
y0 | The new y coordinate of upper-left corner of original bounding box. |
x1 | The new x coordinate of upper-right corner of original bounding box. |
y1 | The new y coordinate of upper-right corner of original bounding box. |
x2 | The new x coordinate of lower-left corner of original bounding box. |
y2 | The new y coordinate of lower-left corner of original bounding box. |
x3 | The new x coordinate of lower-right corner of original bounding box. |

Rotate the specified item about given coordinates through the specified angle.

This function rotates the specified item.

If a selection exists and the item is a drawable, the portion of the drawable which lies under the selection is cut from the drawable and made into a floating selection which is then rotated by the specified amount. If auto_center is set to TRUE, the rotation is around the selection's center. Otherwise, the coordinate of the center point needs to be specified. The return value is the ID of the rotated floating selection.

If there is no selection or the item is not a drawable, the entire item will be rotated around its center if auto_center is set to TRUE, otherwise the coordinate of the center point needs to be specified. Additionally, if the item has its linked flag set to TRUE, all additional items contained in the image which have the linked flag set to TRUE will also be rotated around the same center point. The return value will be equal to the item ID supplied as input.

This procedure is affected by the following context setters: `gimp_context_set_transform_resize()`.

#### Parameters

item_ID | The affected item. |
rotate_type | Type of rotation. |
