## LayerMixin.transformParent property

If this layer has a `transformParent`, it inherits the transform of that parent layer.

**Signature:**

```typescript
transformParent?: Layer | undefined;
```

## Remarks

To parent this layer to another layer, assign that layer. To clear the transform parent, assign `undefined`.

A transform parent can be any layer type.

## Example

```ts
const controller = scene.createNullLayer({ name: "Controller" });

shapeLayer.transformParent = controller;
shapeLayer.transformParent = undefined;
```
