Definition of Transformation

 

Transformation


A transformation is a way of changing a shape. Transformations can be any one of the following:

  • Turns (or rotations)
  • Flips
  • Slides (or translations)
  • Resizing (enlargement or reduction)

The first three types of transformations do not alter the object's appearance. They only change its position in space.


The picture shows an example of a turn (rotation).
