transformation

In mathematics, a mapping or function, especially one which causes a change of shape or position in a geometric figure. Reflection, rotation, enlargement, and translation are the main geometrical transformations.

Two or more transformations performed on one shape are called combined transformations. The transformation of a shape from A to B can be reversed by an inverse transformation from B back onto A.
