Composite Translation
Composite translation refers to the combination of two or more translation transformations to produce a more complex translation in computer graphics.
To perform a composite translation, we simply add the individual translation amounts together to obtain the total translation amount. For example, if we want to translate a point by `tx1` in the x direction and `ty1` in the y direction, and then translate it again by `tx2` in the x direction and `ty2` in the y direction, we can combine the two translations into a single composite translation by adding the translation amounts:
```
tx = tx1 + tx2
ty = ty1 + ty2
```
We can then create a composite translation matrix `M` using the total translation amounts as follows:
```
[ 1 0 tx ]
[ 0 1 ty ]
[ 0 0 1 ]
```
To apply the composite translation matrix `M` to a point `P = (x, y)`, we multiply it by `P` as follows:
```
P' = M * P
```
where `P' = (x', y')` is the transformed point.
Composite translation is useful for combining multiple translations into a single transformation, which can simplify the graphics pipeline and improve performance. It is often used in animations, where objects need to move along complex paths.
