== \scale =Scaling=
You can insert symbols at a reduced size in the text flow.
</context>
== \mirror =Mirroring = <texcodecontext source=yes>There is a \mirror{\sl mirorred} word in this sentence.</texcode> <context>There is a \mirror{\sl mirorredword} word in this sentence.
</context>
<code>\mirror</code> makes a <code>\hbox</code> and mirrors the contents. If you want to have a longer paragraph mirrored, you have to make a <code>\vbox</code> manually.

== \rotate =Rotating =
You can rotate something by an arbitrary angle by saying something like
\rotate{the ultimate answer}
</context>
==Location parameter==
An example by Hans Hagen showing the influence of <code>location=</code> argument at different angles:
You can rotate a long paragraph as well.
==In a box==
Depending on the usage you will sometimes probably want to include the content of what you wish to rotate into a box. Compare the following two examples:

== Page dependent landscape figures== Sometimes, in a double-sided portrait document, you may wish to rotate a landscape figure so that the top is towards the spine of the book – no matter whether it's on an odd or even page. In this case the {{cmd|doifoddpageelse}} command can help: <texcode>\clip =rotate[rotation=\doifoddpageelse{90}{270}]{\externalfigure[cow]}</texcode> (This example is not just about text manipulationby Wolfgang, from [http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/059834.html the thread starting here].)The thread contains other solutions to the problem. =Clipping= You can adjust the size of an element by cropping/clipping its borders:
<context source="yes">
\clip[nx=3,ny=3,x=1,y=1]{\externalfigure[cow]}
</context>
<context source="yes">
</context>
