  Flip object.
  - `horizontal`: Flip object horizontally (left becomes right)
  - `vertical`: Mirror object on the vertical axes (top/bottom)
  - `both`: Flip object on both axes
  - `none`: Don’t flip the object
`matrix` (text, optional)
  The transformation matrix for the object. Expected is a space separated string of six values.
`origin-x` (text, optional)
  The origin for matrix transformation. Must be left, center or right or a number from 0 to 100 (0 = left, 100 = right).
`origin-y` (text, optional)
  The vertical origin for the matrix transformation. Must be top, center or bottom or a number from 0 to 100 (0 = top, 100 = bottom).

## Example

    <Record element="data">
      <PlaceObject>
        <Transformation matrix="1 0 0 1 72 -72">
          <Transformation matrix="1 0 0 0.5 0 0" origin-x="100">
            <Transformation matrix="1 1 -1 1 0 0">
              <Image file="_samplea.pdf" maxwidth="4" maxheight="4"/>
            </Transformation>
