Apply linear transformations to objects in Mlpost
Transformations are an important way to modify objects in Mlpost.
Objects can be scaled, shifted, rotated, etc, and any combination of
these transformations is possible. Currently, transformations can be
applied to Pictures, Pens and Paths.
type
The abstract type of a single transformation
val scaled : Num.t -> t'
Scale an object by a constant factor.
val rotated : float -> t'
Rotate an object by an angle given in degrees
val shifted : Point.t -> t'
Shift an object with respect to a point
val slanted : Num.t -> t'
Slant an object: the point (x,y) becomes (x+ay,y), with slanting
factor a
val xscaled : Num.t -> t'
Scale an object by a constant factor, but only in the x direction
val yscaled : Num.t -> t'
Scale an object by a constant factor, but only in the y direction
val zscaled : Point.t -> t'
Zscaled multiplies points of the object by the given point, using
"complex" multiplication: (x,y) * (a,b) = (ax - by, bx + ay);
its effect is to rotate and scale so as to map (1,0) into (a,b)
val reflect : Point.t -> Point.t -> t'
Reflect an object with respect to the line that goes through the two
given points
val rotate_around : Point.t -> float -> t'
Rotate an object by an angle given in degrees, around a given point
type
}
val explicit : matrix -> t'
type t' list
A transformation is a list of single transformations
val id : t
The identity transformation
