archimedes 0.4.19 · OCaml Package

Module implementing affine transformations and various operations on them.

type affine = {

mutable xx : float;
mutable yx : float;
mutable xy : float;
mutable yy : float;
mutable x0 : float;
mutable y0 : float;

}

Holds an affine transformation, such as a scale, rotation, shear, or a combination of those. The transformation of a point (x, y) is given by:

x_new = xx *. x +. xy *. y +. x0;
y_new = yx *. x +. yy *. y +. y0;

type t = affine

exception Not_invertible

val make_identity : unit -> t

make_identity() returns the identity transformation.

val make_translate : x:float -> y:float -> t

make_translate tx ty returns a transformation that translates by tx and ty in the X and Y dimensions, respectively.

val make_scale : x:float -> y:float -> t

make_scale sx sy returns a transformation that scales by sx and sy in the X and Y dimensions, respectively.

val make_rotate : angle:float -> t

make_rotate radians returns a transformation that rotates by radians.

val set_to_identity : t -> unit

Sets the current transformation to the identity transformation.

val copy : t -> t

copy matrix returns a copy of matrix.

val blit : t -> t -> unit

blit m1 m2 copies the content of m1 into m2.

val translate : t -> x:float -> y:float -> unit

translate m tx ty applies a translation by tx, ty to the transformation in m. The effect of the new transformation is to first translate the coordinates by tx and ty, then apply the original transformation to the coordinates.

val scale : t -> x:float -> y:float -> unit

scale m sx sy applies scaling by sx, sy to the transformation in m. The effect of the new transformation is to first scale the coordinates by sx and sy, then apply the original transformation to the coordinates.

val rotate : t -> angle:float -> unit

rotate m radians applies rotation by radians to the transformation in m. The effect of the new transformation is to first rotate the coordinates by radians, then apply the original transformation to the coordinates.

val invert : t -> unit

invert m changes matrix to be the inverse of it's original value. Not all transformation matrices have inverses; if the matrix collapses points together (it is degenerate), then it has no inverse and this function will raise Matrix.Not_invertible.

val det : t -> float

det m returns the determinant of the linear part of m. It is the (signed) area that gets the unit square after transformation.

val mul : t -> t -> t

multiply b a multiplies the affine transformations in a and b together and return the result. The effect of the resulting transformation is to first apply the transformation in a to the coordinates and then apply the transformation in b to the coordinates.

BEWARE that the order of the arguments is different from e.g. Cairo.Matrix.multiply.

val mul_in : t -> t -> t -> unit

mul_in c b a computes mul b a and put the result in c.

val transform_point : t -> x:float -> y:float -> float * float

transform_point m x y transforms the point (x, y) by m.

val transform_distance : t -> dx:float -> dy:float -> float * float

transform_distance m dx dy transforms the distance vector (dx,dy) by m. This is similar to Matrix.transform_point except that the translation components of the transformation are ignored. The calculation of the returned vector is as follows:

dx2 = dx1 * xx + dy1 * xy;
dy2 = dx1 * yx + dy1 * yy;

Affine transformations are position invariant, so the same vector always transforms to the same vector. If (x1,y1) transforms to (x2,y2) then (x1+dx1,y1+dy1) will transform to (x2+dx2,y2+dy2) for all values of dx1 and dy1.

val inv_transform_point : t -> x:float -> y:float -> float * float

Makes the inverse transformation of a point.

val inv_transform_distance : t -> dx:float -> dy:float -> float * float

Makes the inverse transformation of a distance.

val has_shear : t -> bool

Tests whether the transformation has shears. This is also the case if the transformation does a rotation.

type rectangle = {

x : float;
(*
X coordinate of the left side of the rectangle
*)
y : float;
(*
Y coordinate of the the top side of the rectangle
*)
w : float;
(*
width of the rectangle >= 0.
*)
h : float;
(*
height of the rectangle >= 0.
*)

}

A data structure for holding a rectangle.

val transform_rectangle : ?dist_basepoint:bool -> t -> rectangle -> rectangle

Transformation of rectangles. This returns the smallest rectangle containing the transformation of the rectangle argument by the matrix. The optional argument dist_basepoint has the following meaning:

Not specified: transform the base point as a point.
Specified as true: transform the base point as a distance.
Specified as false: no transformation of the base point.

module Homothety : sig ... end

Transformations that are the composition of translations and inhomogeneous dilations (different scaling factors are allowed in each canonical direction).
