# Place 2D

Transforms UV texture coordinates for 2D texture placement.

## Parameter Types

Parameter Types Parameter descriptions Discussion Use the Place 2D node to transform texture coordinates and apply these basic transformations to textures. Below is an example of a simple node graph that uses the Place 2D node to transform texture coordinates before passing them to an image node:

The incoming texture coordinates transform in three ways; they are: scaled down to half the size rotated 180 degrees offset by 0.5 in both the U and V directions. For the scale and rotation, the pivot point is set to (0.5, 0.5). Because texture coordinates generally range from (0-1), this means the scale and rotation are done from the center point of the image. Below is the original image and the texture with the transformation applied:
