Pivot Change

Posted by Jimmy Gunawan on Dec 22, 2009

To Team NodeBox,

I have question for NodeBox2. Is there any node that actually allow a change of pivot position of object/shape/merged shapes?

I probably mislook it. Or perhaps it could only be achieved via code hack?

Thanks.

It's a bit of a hack, but you can get some pivot-like effects by rotating a merged shape. The trick is to use a an invisible shape, such as a line with a stroke width of zero, to offset the center of the merged shape (with the goal of getting the center as close as possible to the pivot point).
