Any point
in the object co-ordinate
system is replaced by
in the world
co-ordinate system. The set of equations governing this transformation
is:
![]()
The visible effect on the point
is as follows:

where a is the translation in the x-direction and b is the translation in the y-direction.
Another way to think of this transformation is as a shift of co-ordinate axes by an amount (-a,-b).
