Demystifying - Translations as vectors

Drills

Describing a translation with a column vector, the top number across and the bottom number up, signs included.

Author note — to cover

Describe translations by 2D column vectors, as G24 demands, and perform the translation a given vector defines, negative components included, reading the vector off corresponding vertices of object and image. The transformations context lives on Properties' Translation page; this page owns the vector viewpoint. Both tiers. (G24)
