10.5. Global, Local, and Composite Transformations
Transformations can be divided into two categories based on their scope: global and local. In addition, there are composite transformations. A global transformation is applicable to all items of a Graphics object. The Transform property of the Graphics class is used to set global transformations.
A composite transformation is a sequence of transformations. For example, scaling followed by translation and rotation is a composite translation. The MultiplyTransform, RotateTransform, ScaleTransform, and TranslateTransform methods are used to generate composite transformations.
Listing 10.14 draws two ellipses and a rectangle, then calls ScaleTransform, TranslateTransform, and RotateTransform (a ...
