Element Detail
Transformation
A transformation consists of a 3x3 matrix, i.e. it is a projective transformation.

Internally, a transformation is applied to an element by multiplying the 3x3 matrix from the left to the homogeneous coordinates of the element. JSXGraph represents homogeneous coordinates in the order (z, x, y). The matrix has the form

    ( a  b  c )   ( z )
    ( d  e  f ) * ( x )
    ( g  h  i )   ( y )

where in general a=1. If b = c = 0, the transformation is called affine. In this case, finite points will stay finite. This is not the case for general projective coordinates.

Transformations acting on texts and images are considered to be affine, i.e. b and c are ignored.

This element has no direct constructor. To create an instance of this element you have to call JXG.Board#create with type "transformation".
Possible parent array combinations are:
{numbers|functions} parameters
  The parameters depend on the transformation type, supplied as attribute 'type'. Possible transformation types are
  - 'translate'
  - 'scale'
  - 'reflect'
  - 'rotate'
  - 'shear'
  - 'generic'
  The transformation matrix then looks like:

  Translation matrix:

      ( 1  0  0)   ( z )
      ( a  1  0) * ( x )
      ( b  0  1)   ( y )

  Scale matrix:

      ( 1  0  0)   ( z )
      ( 0  a  0) * ( x )
      ( 0  0  b)   ( y )

  A rotation matrix with angle a (in Radians)

      ( 1    0        0      )   ( z )
      ( 0    cos(a)   -sin(a)) * ( x )
      ( 0    sin(a)   cos(a) )   ( y )

  Shear matrix:

      ( 1  0  0)   ( z )
      ( 0  1  a) * ( x )
      ( 0  b  1)   ( y )

  Generic transformation:

      ( a  b  c )   ( z )
      ( d  e  f ) * ( x )
      ( g  h  i )   ( y )

Throws:
{Exception}
  If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown.

  JXG.Transformation#setMatrix

Examples:

    // The point B is determined by taking twice the vector A from the origin

    var p0 = board.create('point', [0, 3], {name: 'A'}),
        t = board.create('transform', [function(){ return p0.X(); }, "Y(A)"], {type: 'translate'}),
        p1 = board.create('point', [p0, t], {color: 'blue'});

    // The point B is the result of scaling the point A with factor 2 in horizontal direction
    // and with factor 0.5 in vertical direction.

    var p1 = board.create('point', [1, 1]),
        t = board.create('transform', [2, 0.5], {type: 'scale'}),
        p2 = board.create('point', [p1, t], {color: 'blue'});

    // The point B is rotated around C which gives point D. The angle is determined
    // by the vertical height of point A.

    var p0 = board.create('point', [0, 3], {name: 'A'}),
        p1 = board.create('point', [1, 1]),
        p2 = board.create('point', [2, 1], {name:'C', fixed: true}),

        p2 = board.create('point', [-1, -2]),
        t = board.create('transform', [3, 2], {type: 'shear'});
