About Coordinate Spaces and Transformations
Coordinate spaces and transformations are used, for example, by desktop
publishing applications to "zoom" parts of a page or to display adjacent pages in a
window; computer-aided design (CAD) applications use them to rotate objects,
scale drawings, or to create perspective views; and spreadsheet applications use
them to move and size graphs.
The following illustrations show successive views of an object created in a
drawing application. The first illustration shows the object as it appears in the
original drawing; the five remaining illustrations show the effects of
applying various transformations.
