I noticed that there seems to be a way to apply a transformation to a sketch, [documented here](https://teacher.desmos.com/computation-layer/documentation#types:sketch:transform).

Are there any examples out there of how this has been or could be used?

Use simpleFunctions for your x and y transformations then apply them using `transform(xfunct,yfunct)`

Thanks for this example; very informative!

(Also I’d never thought to use the timeSincePress argument as a time to make an animation stop, as I had always assumed it was there to reduce the computational load on a browser.)
