# 2D Transformations

The most common type of 2D transformation in VisionPro is the 2D linear transformation. You represent the general 2D linear transformation that maps points from the coordinate space A to the coordinate space B as a (2x2) matrix and a (2x1) vector:

The 2D linear transformation has several basic properties. These include:

- scaling
- rotation
- translation

In the mathematical representation of the 2D linear transformation, the (2x2) matrix comprises scaling, and rotation information; the (2x1) vector describes the translation between space B and space A.
