Translation is the easiest kind of transformation. Translating a point p means that it is shifted by a translation vector. So the translation vector \vec{\mathbf{t}} is added to the position vector \vec{\mathbf{p}} of p. The position vector \vec{\mathbf{p}_t} of the resulting transformed point p_t is calculated as follows:


\vec{\mathbf{p}_t}=\vec{\mathbf{p}}+\vec{\mathbf{t}}
