In this tutorial chapter we will shortly introduce the many possibilities offered by the \ref Geometry_Module "geometry module",
namely 2D and 3D rotations and affine transformations.

Eigen's Geometry module provides two different kinds of geometric transformations:
  - Abstract transformations, such as rotations (represented by \ref AngleAxis "angle and axis" or by a \ref Quaternion "quaternion"), \ref Translation "translations", \ref Scaling "scalings". These transformations are NOT represented as matrices, but you can nevertheless mix them with matrices and vectors in expressions, and convert them to matrices if you wish.
  - Affine transformation matrices: see the Transform class. These are really matrices.

\note If you are working with OpenGL 4x4 matrices then Transform3f and Transform3d are what you want. Since Eigen defaults to column-major storage, you can directly use the Transform::data() method to pass your transformation matrix to OpenGL.

You can construct a Transform from an abstract transformation, like this:
\code
  Transform t(AngleAxis(angle,axis));
\endcode
or like this:
\code
  Transform t;
  t = AngleAxis(angle,axis);
\endcode
But note that unfortunately, because of how C++ works, you can \b not do this:
\code
  Transform t = AngleAxis(angle,axis);
\endcode
<span class="note">\b Explanation: In the C++ language, this would require Transform to have a non-explicit conversion constructor from AngleAxis, but we really don't want to allow implicit casting here.

<strong>Notes on rotations</strong>\n To transform more than a single vector the preferred
representations are rotation matrices, while for other usages Quaternion is the
representation of choice as they are compact, fast and stable. Finally Rotation2D and
AngleAxis are mainly convenient types to create other rotation objects.

<strong>Notes on Translation and Scaling</strong>\n Likewise AngleAxis, these classes were
designed to simplify the creation/initialization of linear (Matrix) and affine (Transform)
transformations. Nevertheless, unlike AngleAxis which is inefficient to use, these classes
might still be interesting to write generic and efficient algorithms taking as input any
kind of transformations.

Any of the above transformation types can be converted to any other types of the same nature,
or to a more generic type. Here are some additional examples:
<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td>\code
Rotation2Df r = Matrix2f(..);       // assumes a pure rotation matrix
AngleAxisf aa = Quaternionf(..);
AngleAxisf aa = Matrix3f(..);       // assumes a pure rotation matrix
Matrix2f m = Rotation2Df(..);
Matrix3f m = Quaternionf(..);       Matrix3f m = Scaling3f(..);
Transform3f m = AngleAxis3f(..);    Transform3f m = Scaling3f(..);
Transform3f m = Translation3f(..);  Transform3f m = Matrix3f(..);
\endcode</td></tr>

<a href="#" class="top">top</a>\section TutorialGeoCommontransformationAPI Common API across transformation types

To some extent, Eigen's \ref Geometry_Module "geometry module" allows you to write
generic algorithms working on any kind of transformation representations:
<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td>
Concatenation of two transformations</td><td>\code
gen1 * gen2;\endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>Apply the transformation to a vector</td><td>\code
vec2 = gen1 * vec1;\endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>Get the inverse of the transformation</td><td>\code
gen2 = gen1.inverse();\endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>Spherical interpolation \n (Rotation2D and Quaternion only)</td><td>\code
rot3 = rot1.slerp(alpha,rot2);\endcode</td></tr>
</table>


<a href="#" class="top">top</a>\section TutorialGeoTransform Affine transformations
Generic affine transformations are represented by the Transform class which internaly
is a (Dim+1)^2 matrix. In Eigen we have chosen to not distinghish between points and
vectors such that all points are actually represented by displacement vectors from the
origin ( \f$ \mathbf{p} \equiv \mathbf{p}-0 \f$ ). With that in mind, real points and
vector distinguish when the transformation is applied.
<table class="tutorial_code">

VectorNf p1, p2;
p2 = t * p1;\endcode</td></tr>

\b Transformation \b creation \n
While transformation objects can be created and updated concatenating elementary transformations,
the Transform class also features a procedural API:
<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td></td><td>\b procedurale \b API </td><td>\b equivalent \b natural \b API </td></tr>
<tr><td>Translation</td><td>\code
t.translate(Vector_(tx,ty,..));
t.pretranslate(Vector_(tx,ty,..));
\endcode</td><td>\code
t *= Translation_(tx,ty,..);
t = Translation_(tx,ty,..) * t;
\endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>\b Rotation \n <em class="note">In 2D and for the procedural API, any_rotation can also \n be an angle in radian</em></td><td>\code
t.rotate(any_rotation);
t.prerotate(any_rotation);
\endcode</td><td>\code
t *= any_rotation;
t = any_rotation * t;
\endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>Scaling</td><td>\code
t.scale(Vector_(sx,sy,..));
t.scale(s);
t.prescale(Vector_(sx,sy,..));
t.prescale(s);
\endcode</td><td>\code
t *= Scaling_(sx,sy,..);
t *= Scaling_(s);
t = Scaling_(sx,sy,..) * t;
t = Scaling_(s) * t;
\endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>Shear transformation \n ( \b 2D \b only ! )</td><td>\code
t.shear(sx,sy);
t.preshear(sx,sy);
\endcode</td><td></td></tr>
</table>

Note that in both API, any many transformations can be concatenated in a single expression as shown in the two following equivalent examples:
<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td>\code
t.pretranslate(..).rotate(..).translate(..).scale(..);
\endcode</td></tr>
<tr><td>\code
t = Translation_(..) * t * RotationType(..) * Translation_(..) * Scaling_(..);
\endcode</td></tr>
</table>

<table class="tutorial_code">
<tr><td style="max-width:30em;">
Euler angles might be convenient to create rotation objects.
On the other hand, since there exist 24 differents convension,they are pretty confusing to use. This example shows how
to create a rotation matrix according to the 2-1-2 convention.</td><td>\code
Matrix3f m;
m = AngleAxisf(angle1, Vector3f::UnitZ())
