Scott,
Thanks for trying out the patch. I should have included a warning in my post. 
The patch only adds flip commands to the viewer of a SketchMorph. The 
SketchMorph methods themselves are broken. I use the patch to compose 
sketches with mirror symmetry and then grab the composite for a single 
sketch. Kludgy, but a stop gap till etoys get true transformation 
capabilities.

Flips don't work on rotated sketches because the flip* methods of SketchMorph 
are broken. They switch the form (which resets the rotationCenter) :-(. 
Rotations, flips, shear and scale, being views on the base image, should 
affect only the view transform values and not the base form.

Let me see if I can come up with a patch that will fix this.
