What is the term used when a clip art image changes the direction of faces?

In Microsoft Office and most graphic editing software, the term used to change the direction of an image so that it faces the opposite way—essentially creating a mirror image—is Flip. Specifically, you would use "Flip Horizontal" to change the left-right orientation. While the term "Rotate" is often confused with flipping, rotation refers to turning an object around a central point (measured in degrees), which changes its angle rather than its horizontal or vertical orientation. When you need a character or object in clip art to face the other side, "Flip" is the precise transformation tool required to achieve that mirror effect. Mastering the difference between flipping and rotating is essential for maintaining proper composition in document design, ensuring that visual elements like clip art faces are directed toward the content or layout space intended by the creator.
