Translate Effect

Overview

Translate effect generally refers to the movement of an image layer of the widget from one position to another within the widget’s boundary without deformation. For instance, let’s drag and drop the imageholder widget. Add the translate effect to the widget by clicking the Effects tab.

In Flint, the translate X and Y coordinates reposition the widget image layer in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. The translate Z coordinate repositions an element along the z-axis in 3D space, i.e., closer to or farther away from the viewer.

Please note that Translate effect is suitable for images with 2.5D effects, like Frustum and it might not be visible during simulation, but it is observable on the board.
