AffineTransform

AffineTransform[m]
gives a TransformationFunction that represents an affine transform that maps r to m.r.

AffineTransform[{m, v}]
gives an affine transform that maps r to m.r+v.

MORE INFORMATION

AffineTransform gives a TransformationFunction which can be applied to vectors.

For ordinary affine transforms in n dimensions, m is an × matrix.

AffineTransform in general supports × matrices for transformations in dimensions.
