Calling Sequence

StretchRotation(Q, P, O, theta, dir, k)

homology(Q, P, O, theta, dir, k)

SpiralRotation(Q, P, O, theta, dir, k)

Parameters

Q

-

the name of the object to be created

P

-

geometric object

O

-

point which is the center of the homology

theta

-

number which is the angle of the homology

dir

-

name which is either clockwise or counterclockwise

k

-

number which is the ratio of the homology

Description

• 

Let O be a fixed point in the plane, k a given nonzero real number, theta and dir denote a given sensed angle. By the homology (or stretch-rotation, or spiral-rotation) H⁡O,k,θ we mean the product R⁡O,thetaH⁡O,k where R⁡O,θ,dir is the rotation with respect to O an angle theta in direction dir and H⁡O,k is the dilatation with respect to the center O and ratio k.

• 

Point O is called the center of the homology, k the ratio of the homology, theta and dir the angle of the homology.

• 

For a detailed description of Q (the object created), use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q))

• 

The command with(geometry,StretchRotation) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
