This tab displays controls for two separate transforms that affect the shape: Shape Transform and Clone/Reveal transform.
The Shape Transform controls the shape's position and aspect. This section is only enabled when an editing tool is selected. For more information about the shape transform, see Transforming Masks in the Masking chapter.
The Clone/Reveal Transform controls the transform of images used in clone/reveal shapes. These controls only have an effect if the shape's current operation is Clone or Reveal. The Paint operation does not make use of this transform.
In Clone mode, by default, only the translation is composed with that of the shape, which provides the expected result when dealing only with translations. Using the "x Shape" (by shape) toggle controls, other parts of the transformation will be composed by the shape transform. If the "x Shape" toggle is off, they will be absolute.
In Reveal mode, all parts of the transform are absolute, with scale, rotation and shear with respect to pivot, as expected. The "x Shape" toggle controls are not used.
The examples below display the rotation attribute for rectangle and clone/reveal areas.

Rectangle rotation at 30 .
Rectangle rotation at 30, x Shape button enabled.

Clone/reveal transform controls are also found in the main tab for translation x, y and rotation.
