Reflecting clock

[Canayon9]

I want to reflect a clock onto water. I've been searching a lot of forums but I can't really find what I want. I tried using Angle=, but it doesnt look like a reflection, just a rotation. This is the code for the clock if it helps:

[Variables]
Size1=74
Size2=18
ClockSize=900
WhiteHands=255,255,255,255
BlackHands=0,0,0,245

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%#I:%M

[MeterTime]
MeasureName=MeasureTime
Meter=STRING
X=236
Y=0
FontColor=FFCC33
FontSize=125
Font=Jalane_light
StringAlign=CENTER
AntiAlias=1

You'll probably need to use a transformation matrix for this. There's a tutorial for using TransformationMatrix here. Be warned, though, that this is a very advanced feature and not for the faint of heart.

Actually, in this case it might not be that hard, since mirroring an object at a line parallel to a coordinate is rather simple. There is even an example for it in the documentation for TransformationMatrix.

TransformationMatrix=1;0;0;-1;0;100

Replace the "100" with two times the y coordinate you want to flip along. E.g. if you want to flip along Y = 125, replace it with 250.

You might also want to adjust the alpha value of the mirrored part to make it more realistic.

Just be aware that you can't really get an effective "perspective" effect with TransformationMatrix, so the effect will be interesting, but just a tad unrealistic.

Thanks it works great
