Transform Array Array indicating the transformation to apply to coordinates in the file. This can have three forms:1. An array of two or more four-element arrays containing local and world coordinates for control points, for example, {{real localX1, real localY1, real longitude1, real latitude1}, ...}2. An array of four elements - {real X_multiplier, real Y_multiplier, real X_offset, real Y_offset}3. Center and Extent transform {c1_x, c1_y, width_1, c2_x, c2_y, width_2} where center is shifted from (c1_x,c1_y) to (c2_x,c2_y), and vector of length width_1 out of c_1 becomes a vector of length width_2 out of c_2.
