Generation

An affine transformation is a geometric operation that preserves points, straight lines, and planes, including operations like translation, rotation, scaling, and shearing. These transformations maintain parallelism between lines but not necessarily angles or distances. The key formula is: **y = Ax + b**, where **x** is the input vector, **A** is a matrix representing the linear transformation (rotation, scaling, shearing), and **b** is a vector representing translation. In homogeneous coordinates, this can be expressed as a single matrix multiplication.
