Coordinate Systems and Transformations

  • Article

GDI+ provides a world transformation and a page transformation so that you can transform (rotate, scale, translate, and so on) the items you draw. The two transformations also allow you to work in a variety of coordinate systems.

In This Section

Types of Coordinate Systems
Introduces coordinates systems and transformations.

Matrix Representation of Transformations
Discusses using matrices for coordinate transformations.

Global and Local Transformations
Discusses global and local transformations.

Reference

Matrix
Encapsulates a 3-by-3 affine matrix that represents a geometric transform.
