Coordinate Spaces and Transformations
Applications written for the Microsoft® Windows® operating system use coordinate spaces and transformations to scale, rotate,
translate, shear, and reflect graphics output. A coordinate space is a planar space based on the Cartesian coordinate system. This system
requires two axes that are perpendicular and equal in length. There are four
coordinate spaces in Windows: world, page, device, and physical device (client area,
or desktop, or page of printer paper). A transformation is an algorithm that alters ("transforms") the size, orientation, and shape
of objects.
