Examples for
Geometric Transformations
Geometric transformations are bijections preserving certain geometric properties, usually from the xy-plane to itself but can also be of higher dimension. In particular for each linear geometric transformation, there is one unique real matrix representation. Wolfram|Alpha has the ability to compute the transformation matrix for a specific 2D or 3D transformation activity or to return a general transformation calculator for rotations, reflections and shears.
