#788 – Flipping an Element Using a Scale Transform

You can flip any GUI element, either horizontally or vertically, by using a scale transform.

To flip an element horizontally, you use a ScaleTransform with a ScaleX value of -1.0.  To flip an element vertically, you use a ScaleTransform with a ScaleY value of -1.0.
