📊 Transformation Examples

Triangle Transformations

# Example usage
triangle = TriangleTransformer([[0, 0], [1, 0], [0.5, 1]])

# Demonstrate transformations
original = triangle.vertices.copy()
translated = triangle.translate(2, 3)
rotated = triangle.rotate(45)

# Plot results
triangle.plot(show_grid=True)

Image Transformations

# Example usage
transformer = ImageTransformer('example.jpg')

# Apply transformations
rotated = transformer.rotate(45)
scaled = transformer.scale(0.5)

# Display results
transformer.display([transformer.image, rotated, scaled],
                   ['Original', 'Rotated', 'Scaled'])
