Applying Multiple Transform Operations

As explained in the scaling section (and as you saw just now in the rotation section), applying transformations can result in odd coordinate shifts. In such cases, you will often want to apply more than one transformation effect to an object.

There are two methods for applying multiple transformations to an object: additive transform properties and the matrix property. The matrix property, which was mentioned briefly in Table 14.1, is an elaborate mathematical formula for applying a number of transformations.

If you are feeling brave of heart, you can learn more about matrix transformations in Chapter 7.4 ...
