flip
Type
command
Summary
Invert an image horizontally or vertically.
Syntax
flip [<imageRef>] {horizontal | vertical}
Description
Use the flip command to turn an image over.
The vertical form flips the image vertically, swapping its top and bottom. The horizontal form flips the image side to side, swapping its right and left.
If you don't specify an image, the portion currently selected with the Select paint tool is flipped.
The flipping operation is its own inverse: flipping an image twice in the same direction restores it to its original appearance.
Flipping a referenced image changes its orientation only temporarily. The next time the referenced image is displayed, its original orientation returns.
