Return type: Array [2 or 3].
toComp(point, t=time)
Argument type: point is an Array [2 or 3], and t is a Number.
Transforms a point from layer space to composition space. Example:
fromComp(point, t=time)
Argument type: point is an Array [2 or 3], and t is a Number.
Transforms a point from composition space to layer space. The resulting point in a 3D layer may have a nonzero
value even though it is in layer space. Example:
Return type: Array [2 or 3].
toWorld(point, t=time)
Argument type: point is an Array [2 or 3], and t is a Number.
Return type: Array [2 or 3].
