"Combined scaling and rotation"
 
   Hello,

I am trying to study combined point transformation.

I tried to rotate and then scale a point about origin in a cad package. Here, the sequence does not make any difference. Whether you do scaling first or rotation, the results are correct.

Then I set to get the mathematical representations of this. And here is what I have:

---

To transform the point P to P’ such that distance from origin is increased by S times and the angle the line joining point with origin is increased by t.

Sequence 1: Rotation followed by scaling:

Rotation:

x’’2 = x1 * cos(t) – y1 * sin(t)
y’’2 = x1 * sin(t) + y1 * cos(t)

Scaling

x2 = Sx * x’’2
y2 = Sy * y’’2

x2 = Sx * (x1 * cos(t) – y1 * sin(t))
y2 = Sy * (x1 * sin(t) + y1 * cos(t))

Sequence 2: Scaling followed by rotation:

Scaling

X’’2 = Sx * x1
Y’’2 = Sy * y1

Rotation:

x2 = x’’2 * cos(t) – y’’2 * sin(t)
y2 = x’’2 * sin(t) + y’’2 * cos(t)

x2 = Sx * x1 * cos(t) – Sy * y1 * sin(t)
y2 = Sx * x1 * sin(t) + Sy * y1 * cos(t)

----

The results are affected by sequence of transformations. Is this correct or have I made a mistake somewhere? If this is correct then what is the source of discrepancy?. If this is correct then can I come to the conclusion that scaling should always be applied before translation? Or non-uniform scaling should be avoided as far as possible?

I could not find any convincing solution solution in the couple of books that I have nor on the web.

Please help me.

Under the usual meaning of the term, a scaling would have the same scale factor in all directions. In particular, in your example this would be achieved by setting Sx = Sy. If this is done, you will find that the result you obtain is independent of the order of the transformations.

If, however, having Sx not equal to Sy is what you mean by a non-uniform scaling, and this is an essential part of what you are doing, then I can advise you no further without knowing your purpose. So why are you trying to do this?

Thankyou

   I am studying Maths required for Solid Modelling (Transformations is a part of it) and preparing detailed notes for my future reference.

Thus I need to investigate all possible aspects.

   So do that.
