title: flip
---

The `flip` macro flips (mirrors) an entire part vertically around the Y-axis.  
It takes no arguments, and is provided by the [flip plugin](/reference/plugins/flip).

```js
macro("flip")
```

Under the hood, this macro will:

 - Go through all Points in your Part, and multiply their X-coordinate by -1
 - Go through all the Paths in your Part, and for each drawing operation will multiply the X-coordinare by -1
 - Go through all the Snippets in your Part and multiply the X-coordinate of the anchor point by -1

feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown 2021-08-25 16:09:31 +02:00
