Translation is the easiest kind of transformation. Translating a point 
means that it is shifted by a translation vector. So the translation vector 
is added to the position vector 
of . The position vector 
of the resulting transformed point 
is calculated as follows:
For further information about vector addition and examples, please have a look at the article about simple arithmetic vector operations.
An alternative way to describe a translation is the matrix notation.
