Parenting Overview

Parenting consists of adding an additional parent layer transformation to a layer's transformation.
To understand this concept, we can use the example of getting on a train. Inside the train, you are free to move, but at the same time you are also affected by the train’s movements. You are "parented" to the train and the same concept applies to layers.

The following terminology is established from this comparison:

• Parent layer(s)
• Child layer(s)

A Child layer can also be the Parent of another layer/other layers, creating a "transformation dependency tree". That's the way you define parenting in Autograph, in this separated module.
