| A transformation, also known as transform, provides a means of defining the position and orientation of primitives in the rendering library. Transforms may also scale or shear the geometry of an object. Functions are available to create transforms specially for translation, scaling, and rotation. In addition, a skew transform provides a means of applying a shear to an object. Transforms may be concatenated into a single transform. | |||||
