Description
|
|
|
•
|
In translation, the set S of all points of unextended space is mapped onto itself by carrying each point P of S into a point P1 such that the directed segment PP1 is equal and parallel to a given directed segment AB.
|
|
•
|
The directed segment AB is called the vector of the translation.
|
|
•
|
The command with(geom3d,translation) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
