Three types of transforms are common to all iTools: Resample, Rotate Data, and Scale Data.
The Resample transform resamples the selected data. Resampling operation properties include factors for each dimension of the data, as well as the interpolation method to be used.
For example, if the X, Y, or Z value of a visualization needs to be different from the original data value, you can resample the data to adjust the X, Y, or Z value by the specified resample factor. Or, if the default interpolation method produces undesirable artifacts in the visualization of the data, you can resample the data with a different interpolation method.
To resample data:

The Rotate Data transform makes it possible to rotate the data within the visualization by a specified number of degrees without affecting the rest of the data space (graphical objects and axes).
To rotate data:
The Scale Data transform makes it possible to scale the data within an object by a specified scale factor.
To scale data:
