Translations
The first transformation we are going to look at is translations.
A translation simply “slides” an object from one position to another. It does not change the size, shape or orientation of the object. |
Take a look at the following translations.
Translated Star |
Notice that the dark green star has been translated to the right. The result is the light green star that is the same size, shape and orientation.
Translated Smiley Face |
Notice that the dark yellow smiley face has been translated down. The result is the light yellow smiley face that is the same size, shape and orientation.
Translated Heart |
Notice that the dark red heart has been translated to the left and down. The result is the light red heart that is the same size, shape and orientation.
