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:
Considering the particular components of the vectors, it looks as follows:
For further information about vector addition and examples, please have a look at the article about simple arithmetic vector operations.
