public class AffineTransform
extends Object   
implements Cloneable   , Serializable   

The AffineTransform class represents a 2D affine transform that performs a linear mapping from 2D coordinates to other 2D coordinates that preserves the "straightness" and "parallelness" of lines. Affine transformations can be constructed using sequences of translations, scales, flips, rotations, and shears.

Such a coordinate transformation can be represented by a 3 row by 3 column matrix with an implied last row of [ 0 0 1 ]. This matrix transforms source coordinates (x, y) into destination coordinates (x', y') by considering them to be a column vector and multiplying the coordinate vector by the matrix according to the following process:

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

Field Detail

TYPE_IDENTITY

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.

TYPE_TRANSLATION

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.

TYPE_UNIFORM_SCALE

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.

TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE

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.

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

See Also:

TYPE_UNIFORM_SCALE , TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE , Constant Field Values

TYPE_FLIP

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.

Returns:

an AffineTransform object that shears coordinates by the specified multipliers.

getType

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 appriopriate 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.

TYPE_IDENTITY , TYPE_TRANSLATION , TYPE_UNIFORM_SCALE , TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE , TYPE_QUADRANT_ROTATION , TYPE_GENERAL_ROTATION , TYPE_GENERAL_TRANSFORM

getDeterminant

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   |
 

Returns:

the determinant of the matrix used to transform the coordinates.

getMatrix

public void getMatrix(double[] flatmatrix)

                      double ty)

concatenate

public void concatenate(AffineTransform    Tx)

Concatenates an AffineTransform Tx to this AffineTransform Cx in the most commonly useful way to provide a new user space that is mapped to the former user space by Tx. Cx is updated to perform the combined transformation. Transforming a point p by the updated transform Cx' is equivalent to first transforming p by Tx and then transforming the result by the original transform Cx like this: Cx'(p) = Cx(Tx(p)) In matrix notation, if this transform Cx is represented by the matrix [this] and Tx is represented by the matrix [Tx] then this method does the following:

                [this] = [this] x [Tx]
 

Parameters:

Tx - the AffineTransform object to be concatenated with this AffineTransform object.

See Also:

preConcatenate(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform)

preConcatenate

public void preConcatenate(AffineTransform    Tx)

Concatenates an AffineTransform Tx to this AffineTransform Cx in a less commonly used way such that Tx modifies the coordinate transformation relative to the absolute pixel space rather than relative to the existing user space. Cx is updated to perform the combined transformation. Transforming a point p by the updated transform Cx' is equivalent to first transforming p by the original transform Cx and then transforming the result by Tx like this: Cx'(p) = Tx(Cx(p)) In matrix notation, if this transform Cx is represented by the matrix [this] and Tx is represented by the matrix [Tx] then this method does the following:

                [this] = [Tx] x [this]
 

Parameters:

Tx - the AffineTransform object to be concatenated with this AffineTransform object.

See Also:

concatenate(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform)

createInverse

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.

Returns:

a new AffineTransform object representing the inverse transformation.

Throws:

NoninvertibleTransformException - if the matrix cannot be inverted.

See Also:

getDeterminant()

transform

                         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.

Parameters:

ptSrc - the specified Point2D to be transformed

ptDst - the specified Point2D that stores the result of transforming ptSrc

Returns:

the ptDst after transforming ptSrc and stroring the result in ptDst.

transform

                      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.

Parameters:

ptSrc - the array containing the source point objects

ptDst - the array into which the transform point objects are returned

srcOff - the offset to the first point object to be transformed in the source array

dstOff - the offset to the location of the first transformed point object that is stored in the destination array

                      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.
