The basic set of transformations have been augmented by more specialised transformations as the need arose

The following pages give an introduction to each:

- 19. shorten: converts two short curves or lines to a single line
- 20. thicken_cubic: animates the drawing of a cubic
- 21. caligraphy: animate drawing with a caligraphic pen
- 22. paint_cubic: animates the drawing of a curve as though by a brush
- 23. elabourate_cubic: elabourates the form of a curve
- 24. dashed_cubic: extends the types of dashed line
- 25. bounding_box: calculates the bounding box of a drawing
- 26. random: provides a source of random numbers
