Setting several keyframes in succession causes several regions to loop. Setting a single keyframe causes the region after the keyframe to be looped throughout the effect, no matter where the keyframe is. The end of an effect can be looped from the beginning by setting the keyframe near the end. +\subsection{Mirror}% +\label{sub:mirror} +\index{Mirror} + +Mirror does more than simply flip (or reflect) the frame. It divides the frame into two vertical and/or horizontal half-planes, allowing them to be translated and oriented to achieve complex reflections and compositions, which can be reminiscent of kaleidoscope. + +An example of horizontal + vertical reflection without Swap nor shifting of the center of reflection is shown in the figure~\ref{fig:mirror} + +\begin{figure}[htpb] + \centering + \includegraphics[width=0.9\linewidth]{mirror.png} + \caption{mirror plugin} + \label{fig:mirror} +\end{figure} + +\begin{description} + \item[Horizontal:] composes a reflection of the right half-plane joined to the left half-plane.
