Translation (geometry)
In
Euclidean geometry,
translation is the transformation of moving every point by a fixed distance in the same direction. It can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant
vector to every point, or as changing the
origin of the
coordinate system.
Distances are preserved under a translation, and so shapes and sizes remain the same.
