When you're posting in a topic, try to be constructive and elaborate on why you support. For example:
Support because it would be helpful to me since I like to make animations. Also, I like to make music projects but I have to put an animation because plain old music projects with just

when green flag clicked
play sound [ song v] until done

are not allowed. This would allow me to make my project more interesting.


Unrelated: no way that I forgot to switch accounts again

+ support, would make some funni projects with this

A rotatable reflection axis would make a fine addition to the Transformations Extension Suggestion.

flip [by rotatable axis v] :: pen
set rotatable axis to () degrees :: pen
turn rotatable axis [left v] by () degrees :: pen

wait, projects with just a piece of music aren't allowed?
“censoring projects with no coding” is a rejected suggestion therefore not done on scratch, so how is it not allowed?

EDIT: (support, would be helpful with a LOT of my projects because currently you have to use costumes or the fisheye effect or something like that and it doesn't quite work out)

Maybe they're referring to the music sharing policy, where projects that are just for sharing music the user didn't create are not allowed (it is if they made it), but I guess that user got confused and thought it meant all projects that are just for sharing music (even if they created it) are not allowed.

100% Support!

Making these distortions on the editor is very tiring and also unpractical if you need a sprite to be constantly distorted (we all know what happens when a project has way too many costumes…)

These blocks would instantly solve that problem, and they would be really useful in so many ways aswell! And they'd be very fun to mess arround, specially if you're a new user and you're just testing out what each block does

Not to mention what impact these blocks could have on 3D projects, it would be REVOLUTIONARY!

For me, if this feature ever gets added (please Scratch devs, just do it! I beg you!) i'd use the blocks that flip the sprite horizontally the most, you cannot imagine how many times I wished for a flip block everytime I needed to get a sprite be able to face left-right NORMALLY with rotation still on… (Don't come up with those “workarounds”, they're the reason why one of my projects got all the costumes corrupted by that grey box! And also duplicating the costumes and then flipping them it's so unpractical ngl).

Anyways, this feature should be 100% added! The blocks are useful, it fits Scratch and it would also amaze new users (if it's not confusing enough).

I guess, assuming that the run screen uses the html <canvas> element than I believe that is possible.

It does

I've been browsing through old Scratch builds (specifically the 0.X ones) and just discovered that they USED to have transformation blocks!

The Scratch build of february 2004 has a width and height block:

set width to ()

set height to ()

Meanwhile the build of october 2004 changed those blocks to a single “stretch” block instead.

set stretch to ()%

change stretch by ()

And then later on the 2005 build the transformation blocks where entirelly removed…
I think that they should bring back the transformation blocks (and add the new stuff that the extension from this suggestion has to offer), alongside with other scrapped blocks from the earlier builds!

(p.s: I already made a post above explaining why I 100% support the comeback of this feature)

Support. This seems intuitive to use, yet would add a lot to scratch. I could also imagine some great 3d projects being made with this.

Support. Also is there any third party extension that adds this?

Turbowarp- the stretch blocks in the Turbowarp-only extensions category.

You shouldn’t ask that, it encourages people to say extension names

Browser extensions (which are the only ones that can't be mentioned) don't really add new features because they'd be incompatible with vanilla Scratch, and it is allowed to mention Scratch extension and mod names.

Before anything: I love the concept, love the presentation — It's so well made and creative, congrats!

• I do support, since Eisenberg's Law says: «everything you can
  do from the GUI should be able to be done
  from the programming language,
  and vice versa.»
  
• There's already a extension in TW named «stretch», so maybe you can use some code to help you.
  

TL;DR: This is useful and I support.

Hi, i hope this isnt annoying but I made a project that uses a custom pen renderer to skew sprites:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1038250719/

sorry, no support, this would make scratch more complicated (which is not what you want with a community full of 10 year olds)

Scratch is already complicated with cloud variables, hardware interfaces, lists, custom functions etc. plus, this is an optional thing so they could just not use it, while people who *do* want it would appreciate it

bump

support, i have a game in mind that requires this block, and the griffpatch workaround looks a bit warped

Is it currently possible to have it function like how ampara said, where stretches applied after rotations still stretch horizontally rather than stretching the costume itself?

1. It would be the order that the blocks are placed. i.e. if you put the “point in direction ()” block first, it'll rotate first. If you put scaling first, it will scale first.
