You won't be able to use this in Perspective, as the function is only scoped for Vision Client. See here under Scope: > **[system.gui.transform | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-gui/system-gui-transform)** > > Sets a component's position and size at runtime. If you can please provide some more information on what you are trying to achieve, we might be able to give you some pointers. ---

In perspective this functionality is generally accomplished using CSS animations. Provide information on what you are trying to accomplish and I’m sure someone can help you out. ---

Use the View Canvas component and set up duration to automatically smoothly animate between states. ---

So many ways you could do it; View Cavnas (as above), CSS, SVG. **SVG** If the graphic is an embedded SVG and you don't mind about transitions (i.e.it moves in small increments), you could bind to the x-coordinate or use a translate transform on the SVG text element: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/7/877289f54a8c5ae5c15d5c2ff8acb0176cc326ea.png) It is also easy to dynamically bind to attributes of other elements too; fill, stroke, size etc.) **CSS** Take a look at the animated style classes too; heaps you can do with that as well: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/3/2301262087a084db4188525a18fd9c7f07bda7ab.png) l ---
