Class AffineTransform

public static final int TYPE_IDENTITY

This constant indicates that the transform defined by this object is an identity transform. An identity transform is one in which the output coordinates are always the same as the input coordinates. If this transform is anything other than the identity transform, the type will either be the constant GENERAL_TRANSFORM or a combination of the appropriate flag bits for the various coordinate conversions that this transform performs.

public static final int TYPE_TRANSLATION

This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a translation in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits. A translation moves the coordinates by a constant amount in x and y without changing the length or angle of vectors.

public static final int TYPE_UNIFORM_SCALE

This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a uniform scale in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits. A uniform scale multiplies the length of vectors by the same amount in both the x and y directions without changing the angle between vectors. This flag bit is mutually exclusive with the TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE flag.

public static final int TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE

This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a general scale in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits. A general scale multiplies the length of vectors by different amounts in the x and y directions without changing the angle between perpendicular vectors. This flag bit is mutually exclusive with the TYPE_UNIFORM_SCALE flag.

public static final int TYPE_MASK_SCALE

This constant is a bit mask for any of the scale flag bits.

public static final int TYPE_FLIP

This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a mirror image flip about some axis which changes the normally right handed coordinate system into a left handed system in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits. A right handed coordinate system is one where the positive X axis rotates counterclockwise to overlay the positive Y axis similar to the direction that the fingers on your right hand curl when you stare end on at your thumb. A left handed coordinate system is one where the positive X axis rotates clockwise to overlay the positive Y axis similar to the direction that the fingers on your left hand curl. There is no mathematical way to determine the angle of the original flipping or mirroring transformation since all angles of flip are identical given an appropriate adjusting rotation.

public static final int TYPE_QUADRANT_ROTATION

This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a quadrant rotation by some multiple of 90 degrees in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits. A rotation changes the angles of vectors by the same amount regardless of the original direction of the vector and without changing the length of the vector. This flag bit is mutually exclusive with the TYPE_GENERAL_ROTATION flag.

public static final int TYPE_GENERAL_ROTATION

This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a rotation by an arbitrary angle in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits. A rotation changes the angles of vectors by the same amount regardless of the original direction of the vector and without changing the length of the vector. This flag bit is mutually exclusive with the TYPE_QUADRANT_ROTATION flag.

public static final int TYPE_MASK_ROTATION

This constant is a bit mask for any of the rotation flag bits.

public static final int TYPE_GENERAL_TRANSFORM

This constant indicates that the transform defined by this object performs an arbitrary conversion of the input coordinates. If this transform can be classified by any of the above constants, the type will either be the constant TYPE_IDENTITY or a combination of the appropriate flag bits for the various coordinate conversions that this transform performs.

This operation is equivalent to translating the coordinates so that the anchor point is at the origin (S1), then rotating them about the new origin (S2), and finally translating so that the intermediate origin is restored to the coordinates of the original anchor point (S3).

This operation is equivalent to the following sequence of calls:

     AffineTransform Tx = new AffineTransform();
     Tx.translate(anchorx, anchory);    // S3: final translation
     Tx.rotate(theta);                  // S2: rotate around anchor
     Tx.translate(-anchorx, -anchory);  // S1: translate anchor to origin

          [   cos(theta)    -sin(theta)    x-x*cos+y*sin  ]
          [   sin(theta)     cos(theta)    y-x*sin-y*cos  ]
          [       0              0               1        ]

The amount of rotation is such that coordinates along the former positive X axis will subsequently align with the vector pointing from the origin to the specified vector coordinates. If both vecx and vecy are 0.0, an identity transform is returned. This operation is equivalent to calling:

     AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.atan2(vecy, vecx));
 

public static AffineTransform getRotateInstance(double vecx, double vecy, double anchorx, double anchory)

Returns a transform that rotates coordinates around an anchor point according to a rotation vector. All coordinates rotate about the specified anchor coordinates by the same amount. The amount of rotation is such that coordinates along the former positive X axis will subsequently align with the vector pointing from the origin to the specified vector coordinates. If both vecx and vecy are 0.0, an identity transform is returned. This operation is equivalent to calling:

     AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.atan2(vecy, vecx),
                                       anchorx, anchory);
 

public static AffineTransform getQuadrantRotateInstance(int numquadrants)

          [   0    0    1   ]
 

public int getType()

Retrieves the flag bits describing the conversion properties of this transform. The return value is either one of the constants TYPE_IDENTITY or TYPE_GENERAL_TRANSFORM, or a combination of the appropriate flag bits. A valid combination of flag bits is an exclusive OR operation that can combine the TYPE_TRANSLATION flag bit in addition to either of the TYPE_UNIFORM_SCALE or TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE flag bits as well as either of the TYPE_QUADRANT_ROTATION or TYPE_GENERAL_ROTATION flag bits.

public double getDeterminant()

Returns the determinant of the matrix representation of the transform. The determinant is useful both to determine if the transform can be inverted and to get a single value representing the combined X and Y scaling of the transform.

If the determinant is non-zero, then this transform is invertible and the various methods that depend on the inverse transform do not need to throw a NoninvertibleTransformException. If the determinant is zero then this transform can not be inverted since the transform maps all input coordinates onto a line or a point. If the determinant is near enough to zero then inverse transform operations might not carry enough precision to produce meaningful results.

If this transform represents a uniform scale, as indicated by the getType method then the determinant also represents the square of the uniform scale factor by which all of the points are expanded from or contracted towards the origin. If this transform represents a non-uniform scale or more general transform then the determinant is not likely to represent a value useful for any purpose other than determining if inverse transforms are possible.

Mathematically, the determinant is calculated using the formula:

          |  m00  m01  m02  |
          |  m10  m11  m12  |  =  m00 * m11 - m01 * m10
          |   0    0    1   |

This operation is equivalent to translating the coordinates so that the anchor point is at the origin (S1), then rotating them about the new origin (S2), and finally translating so that the intermediate origin is restored to the coordinates of the original anchor point (S3).

This operation is equivalent to the following sequence of calls:

public AffineTransform createInverse() throws NoninvertibleTransformException

Returns an AffineTransform object representing the inverse transformation. The inverse transform Tx' of this transform Tx maps coordinates transformed by Tx back to their original coordinates. In other words, Tx'(Tx(p)) = p = Tx(Tx'(p)).

If this transform maps all coordinates onto a point or a line then it will not have an inverse, since coordinates that do not lie on the destination point or line will not have an inverse mapping. The getDeterminant method can be used to determine if this transform has no inverse, in which case an exception will be thrown if the createInverse method is called.

public void invert() throws NoninvertibleTransformException

Sets this transform to the inverse of itself. The inverse transform Tx' of this transform Tx maps coordinates transformed by Tx back to their original coordinates. In other words, Tx'(Tx(p)) = p = Tx(Tx'(p)).

If this transform maps all coordinates onto a point or a line then it will not have an inverse, since coordinates that do not lie on the destination point or line will not have an inverse mapping. The getDeterminant method can be used to determine if this transform has no inverse, in which case an exception will be thrown if the invert method is called.

public Point2D transform(Point2D ptSrc, Point2D ptDst)

Transforms the specified ptSrc and stores the result in ptDst. If ptDst is null, a new Point2D object is allocated and then the result of the transformation is stored in this object. In either case, ptDst, which contains the transformed point, is returned for convenience. If ptSrc and ptDst are the same object, the input point is correctly overwritten with the transformed point.

public void transform(Point2D[] ptSrc, int srcOff, Point2D[] ptDst, int dstOff, int numPts)

Transforms an array of point objects by this transform. If any element of the ptDst array is null, a new Point2D object is allocated and stored into that element before storing the results of the transformation.

Note that this method does not take any precautions to avoid problems caused by storing results into Point2D objects that will be used as the source for calculations further down the source array. This method does guarantee that if a specified Point2D object is both the source and destination for the same single point transform operation then the results will not be stored until the calculations are complete to avoid storing the results on top of the operands. If, however, the destination Point2D object for one operation is the same object as the source Point2D object for another operation further down the source array then the original coordinates in that point are overwritten before they can be converted.

public void transform(float[] srcPts, int srcOff, float[] dstPts, int dstOff, int numPts)

Transforms an array of floating point coordinates by this transform. The two coordinate array sections can be exactly the same or can be overlapping sections of the same array without affecting the validity of the results. This method ensures that no source coordinates are overwritten by a previous operation before they can be transformed. The coordinates are stored in the arrays starting at the specified offset in the order [x0, y0, x1, y1, ..., xn, yn].

public void transform(double[] srcPts, int srcOff, double[] dstPts, int dstOff, int numPts)

Transforms an array of double precision coordinates by this transform.

Inverse transforms the specified ptSrc and stores the result in ptDst. If ptDst is null, a new Point2D object is allocated and then the result of the transform is stored in this object. In either case, ptDst, which contains the transformed point, is returned for convenience. If ptSrc and ptDst are the same object, the input point is correctly overwritten with the transformed point.

public void inverseTransform(double[] srcPts, int srcOff, double[] dstPts, int dstOff, int numPts) throws NoninvertibleTransformException

Inverse transforms an array of double precision coordinates by this transform. The two coordinate array sections can be exactly the same or can be overlapping sections of the same array without affecting the validity of the results.

Transforms the relative distance vector specified by ptSrc and stores the result in ptDst. A relative distance vector is transformed without applying the translation components of the affine transformation matrix using the following equations:

  [  x' ]   [  m00  m01 (m02) ] [  x  ]   [ m00x + m01y ]
  [  y' ] = [  m10  m11 (m12) ] [  y  ] = [ m10x + m11y ]
  [ (1) ]   [  (0)  (0) ( 1 ) ] [ (1) ]   [     (1)     ]
 

If ptDst is null, a new Point2D object is allocated and then the result of the transform is stored in this object. In either case, ptDst, which contains the transformed point, is returned for convenience. If ptSrc and ptDst are the same object, the input point is correctly overwritten with the transformed point.

public void deltaTransform(double[] srcPts, int srcOff, double[] dstPts, int dstOff, int numPts)

Transforms an array of relative distance vectors by this transform. A relative distance vector is transformed without applying the translation components of the affine transformation matrix using the following equations:

  [  x' ]   [  m00  m01 (m02) ] [  x  ]   [ m00x + m01y ]
  [  y' ] = [  m10  m11 (m12) ] [  y  ] = [ m10x + m11y ]
  [ (1) ]   [  (0)  (0) ( 1 ) ] [ (1) ]   [     (1)     ]
 

The two coordinate array sections can be exactly the same or can be overlapping sections of the same array without affecting the validity of the results. This method ensures that no source coordinates are overwritten by a previous operation before they can be transformed. The coordinates are stored in the arrays starting at the indicated offset in the order [x0, y0, x1, y1, ..., xn, yn].
