Transformation Matrix

A transformation matrix is a mathematical tool used to perform operations on objects in space, such as moving, rotating, or scaling them. Imagine you have a shape, like a square, and you want to move it to a different position or change its size. The transformation matrix represents these actions in a way that can be applied to the shape's coordinates. By multiplying the coordinates of the shape by the transformation matrix, you can easily obtain the new position, size, or orientation of the shape in a consistent and efficient manner.
