# transform/transform-1.2.0¶

A generic type used to mark where other transforms are accepted.

#### Description

These objects are designed to be nested in arbitrary ways to build up transformation pipelines out of a number of low-level pieces.

### Schema Definitions ¶

This type is an object with the following properties:
• name
 string
A user-friendly name for the transform, to give it extra meaning.

No length restriction
• inverse
 transform-1.2.0
Explicitly sets the inverse transform of this transform.

If the transform has a direct analytic inverse, this property is usually not necessary, as the ASDF-reading tool can provide it automatically.

### Original Schema ¶
