Description

A Rectangle of size 400 300 is textured with an image. At t=2s an interpolator starts changing the scale over a period of 12s from 1 1 to -1 1 to -1 -1 to 1 -1 and back to 1 1 maintaining it there briefly, before restarting the cycle over.

This first flips the image over on its X axis since the X scale value goes from 1 to -1; Y scale value goes from 1 to 1 i.e no change. As X scale value goes from 1 to -1 it will scale down to 0, then going negative at which point the image grows again but flipped. Then keeping the X axis flipped it next also similarly flips Y axis, then it reverses the X back keeping the Y flipped, and finally reverses the Y so its back to normal.
