Figure (ese-tr): Translating Ellipsoid to (-1, 1, 1)

`mged> Select the ``Translate'' entry in the solid edit menu
mged> p -1 1 1
mged>`

The key point V is moved to (-1, 1, 1) and the ellipsoid maintains its relative position to V. See Figure (ese-tr) .

While in the SOL EDIT state, the solid may be translated by using the mouse. These changes are not numerically exact, but they can be useful to visually position a solid with respect to other solids. Move the mouse to a position outside the menu area on the screen. Click the mouse. The center point (V) of the ellipsoid will be translated to that point. Note that only the value of the coordinates of V are changed. The command

`mged> p 0 0 0
mged>`

will restore the original position.
