animateTransform

The animateTransform element animates a transformation attribute on its target element, thereby allowing animations to control translation, scaling, rotation, and/or skewing.

Usually, this element is created with:

const animateTransform = parentElement.add('animateTransform')

It's possible to create it as a disconnected element with gSVG('animateTransform') and attach it to the SVG document with .attachTo().
