Cloneable

public class AffineTransformation
extends Object
implements Cloneable

Represents an affine transformation on the 2D Cartesian plane. It can be used to transform a Coordinates or Geometry. An affine transformation is a mapping of the 2D plane into itself via a series of transformations of the following basic types:

• reflection (through a line)
• rotation (around the origin)
• scaling (relative to the origin)
• shearing (in both the X and Y directions)
• translation

In general, affine transformations preserve straightness and parallel lines, but do not preserve distance or shape.

An affine transformation can be represented by a 3x3 matrix in the following form:

 T = | m00 m01 m02 |
     | m10 m11 m12 |
     |  0   0   1  |
 

A coordinate P = (x, y) can be transformed to a new coordinate P' = (x', y') by representing it as a 3x1 matrix and using matrix multiplication to compute:

 | x' |  = T x | x |
 | y' |        | y |
 | 1  |        | 1 |
 

Transformation Composition

Affine transformations can be composed using the compose(com.revolsys.jts.geom.util.AffineTransformation) method. Composition is computed via multiplication of the transformation matrices, and is defined as:

 A.compose(B) = TB x TA
 

This produces a transformation whose effect is that of A followed by B. The methods reflect(double, double), rotate(double), scale(double, double), shear(double, double), and translate(double, double) have the effect of composing a transformation of that type with the transformation they are invoked on.

The composition of transformations is in general not commutative.

Transformation Inversion

Affine transformations may be invertible or non-invertible. If a transformation is invertible, then there exists an inverse transformation which when composed produces the identity transformation. The getInverse() method computes the inverse of a transformation, if one exists.

getDeterminant

public double getDeterminant()

Returns:

See Also:

getInverse()

getInverse

public AffineTransformation getInverse()
                                throws NoninvertibleTransformationException

Computes the inverse of this transformation, if one exists. The inverse is the transformation which when composed with this one produces the identity transformation. A transformation has an inverse if and only if it is not singular (i.e. its determinant is non-zero). Geometrically, an transformation is non-invertible if it maps the plane to a line or a point. If no inverse exists this method will throw a NoninvertibleTransformationException.

The matrix of the inverse is equal to the inverse of the matrix for the transformation. It is computed as follows:

                 1
 inverse(A)  =  ---   x  adjoint(A)
                det


             =   1       |  m11  -m01   m01*m12-m02*m11  |
                ---   x  | -m10   m00  -m00*m12+m10*m02  |
                det      |  0     0     m00*m11-m10*m01  |



             = |  m11/det  -m01/det   m01*m12-m02*m11/det |
               | -m10/det   m00/det  -m00*m12+m10*m02/det |
               |   0           0          1               |

NoninvertibleTransformationException

sinTheta - the sine of the rotation angle

cosTheta - the cosine of the rotation angle

x - the x-ordinate of the rotation point

y - the y-ordinate of the rotation point

Returns:

this transformation, with an updated matrix

setToScale

public AffineTransformation setToScale(double xScale,
                              double yScale)

Sets this transformation to be a scaling. The transformation matrix for a scale has the value:

 |  xScale      0  dx |
 |  1      yScale  dy |
 |  0           0   1 |
 

Parameters:

xScale - the amount to scale x-ordinates by

yScale - the amount to scale y-ordinates by

Returns:

this transformation, with an updated matrix

setToShear

public AffineTransformation setToShear(double xShear,
                              double yShear)

Sets this transformation to be a shear. The transformation matrix for a shear has the value:

 |  1      xShear  0 |
 |  yShear      1  0 |
 |  0           0  1 |
 

Note that a shear of (1, 1) is not equal to shear(1, 0) composed with shear(0, 1). Instead, shear(1, 1) corresponds to a mapping onto the line x = y.

Parameters:

xShear - the x component to shear by

yShear - the y component to shear by

Returns:

this transformation, with an updated matrix

setToTranslation

public AffineTransformation setToTranslation(double dx,
                                    double dy)

Sets this transformation to be a translation. For a translation by the vector (x, y) the transformation matrix has the value:

 |  1  0  dx |
 |  1  0  dy |
 |  0  0   1 |
 

Parameters:

dx - the x component to translate by

dy - the y component to translate by

Returns:

this transformation, with an updated matrix

setTransformation

public AffineTransformation setTransformation(AffineTransformation trans)

Sets this transformation to be a copy of the given one

Parameters:

trans - a transformation to copy

Returns:

this transformation, with an updated matrix

setTransformation

public AffineTransformation setTransformation(double m00,

m02 - the entry for the [0, 2] element in the transformation matrix

m10 - the entry for the [1, 0] element in the transformation matrix

m11 - the entry for the [1, 1] element in the transformation matrix

m12 - the entry for the [1, 2] element in the transformation matrix

Returns:

this transformation, with an updated matrix

shear
