5.5 Constructions that Transform Geometric Objects

Certain objectNames correspond to constructions that create the transformed image of some geometric pre-image object. The constructed image is the same type of object as the pre-image, and so depending on the type of the pre-image object, these constructions can create points, rays, lines, segments, circles, or interiors.

JavaSketchpad cannot construct the transformation of buttons, measurements, images or loci.
