Transformations are put in transformation files with the .uxf extension. They can have the following sections, in this order:
If a transformation does not start with a label, it is assumed to start with the transform section. The optional setting within parentheses after the entry identifier is ignored.
The global section is executed only once per image and can be used to fill look-up tables and initialize read-only variables. See Global sections.
The transform section contains one or more statements. The purpose of these statements is to take the predefined symbol #pixel, which contains the coordinates of the pixel currently being calculated, transform it and put the result back in #pixel. They can also set the predefined boolean symbol #solid to true to give the pixel a solid color instead of calculating it. In this case, no further calculations are done for the pixel. The solid color is adjustable on the Mapping tab of the Layer Properties tool window.
The default section can contain the following settings:
It can also contain one or more parameter blocks.
