symmetry through (0,0)

[flan]

am wondering how to get the image og a shape eg a Parallelogram through (0,0)...

also is it possible to import pics from clipart or the internet and then transform, translate and rotate them?...if so how?!!

any help is much appreciated,
shane

Hi shane,

Do you mean you want to rotate a shape about the origin? If so then create a point at (0, 0) and create a shape. Select the shape and the point, right-click and select Rotation.

You can insert images (right-click > insert image) but you cannot transform them as you can shapes.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Hi Simon thanks for the reply....the info on rotations has helped but I also would like to know how to do symmetry through the origin,

thanks again,
shane

Dear shane,

I am not quite sure what you mean by symmetry through the origin. Here are a couple of things you can do in Autograph:

1. Select a shape, right-click > Reflection in x-axis
2. Select a shape and a line, right-click > Reflection (will reflect the shape in the selected line).

Also try searching the help for reflection or rotation.

Hope this helps,

Simon
