Definitions

1. n. 1

   A geometric transformation that preserves lines and parallelism, but in general not lengths or angles; (more formally) an automorphism of an affine space: a mapping of an affine space onto itself that preserves both the dimension of any affine subspace and the ratio of the lengths of any pair of parallel line segments.

   Given an affine space X, every affine transformation on X can be represented as the composition of a linear transformation on X and a translation of X.
