translation

  

find the translation of a geometric object with respect to a directed segment

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

translation(Q, obj, AB)

Parameters

Q

-

the name of the object to be created

obj

-

geometric object

AB

-

directed segment

Description

• 

Let AB be a directed line segment in the plane S. By the translation TAB we mean the transformation of S onto itself which carries each point P of the plane into the point P1 of the plane such that the directed line segment PP1 is equal and parallel to the directed segment AB.

• 

The directed segment AB is called the vector of the translation.

• 

For a detailed description of Q (the object created), use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q))

• 

The command with(geometry,translation) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
