Flipping a Shape

There are two buttons for this option.

Flip About-x
This is for flipping the shape in the x-plane, the y-coordinate of each point remains the same with the change occurring in the x-coordinate.
Flip About-y
This flips the shape in the y-plane, the x-coordinate of each point remains the same with the change occurring in the y-coordinate.

Once the button has been selected, the sequence of events to invoke the flip is :

< ButtonPress-1 > - in one of the points on the bounding-box.

The flip occurs using the x/y -coordinate of the selected point as the centre.

So if the Flip About-x button is pressed, clicking in points 1, 4 or 6 will result in the flipped shape apperently flipping to the left. Similarly points 3, 5 and 8 will result in the shape apperently flipping to the right. Points 2 and 7 result in the shape being flipped within the box.
