Study Notes

Transformations

Rotation: changes the orientation of an object around a fixed point or axis
Reflection: flips an object across a specified axis, creating a mirrored image
Shearing: distorts the shape of an object by shifting its coordinates along one axis

Rotation

Rotating a point (2, 3) by 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin results in vertices approximately (0.71, 1.41)
Formula for rotating a point (x, y) by angle θ about the origin: (x cos θ - y sin θ, x sin θ + y cos θ)

Reflection

Reflecting a point (2, 3) about the x-axis results in (-2, 3)
Reflecting a line segment about the y-axis results in a mirrored image
Reflection can be achieved by negating the coordinates along the axis of reflection

Shearing

Shearing a rectangle horizontally by a factor of 2 results in new vertices
Formula for shearing a point (x, y) along the x-axis by a factor of k: (x + ky, y)

3D Transformation

Translate a point (2, 3, 4) by (1, -2, 3) results in (3, 1, 7)
Scale a point (2, 3, 4) by factors (2, 0.5, 3) results in (4, 1.5, 12)
Rotate a point (2, 3, 4) by angles (45, 30, 60) degrees
Reflect a point (2, 3, 4) about the xy-plane
Shear a point (2, 3, 4) along the z-axis by a factor of 2

2D Viewing

2D viewing is the process of rendering two-dimensional scenes or objects onto a two-dimensional display surface
Primary purpose is to translate and transform graphical primitives (points, lines, and polygons) from their world coordinates into screen coordinates for display

Translation

Translating a point (3, 4) by (2, -3) results in (5, 1)
Formula for translating a point P(x, y, z) by ∆x, ∆y, and ∆z: T(x, y, z) = (x + ∆x, y + ∆y, z + ∆z)

Scaling

Scaling a rectangle by a factor of 2 results in new vertices
Formula for scaling a point (x, y) by a factor of k: (kx, ky)
