I'm kinda confused about transformation matrixes.

If I have [xw1,xw2,yw1,yw2] and [xv1,xv2,yv1,yv2].

What is the transformation matrix that makes (xw, yw) to (xv, yv)?

Solve these: $$\pmatrix{a&b\\c&d}\cdot\pmatrix{xw_1\\xw_2} =\pmatrix{xv_1\\xv_2} $$

    a = 1/xw1 b = xv1/xw2 c = 1/xw1 d = xv2/xw2. Is this correct? But does that solve my problem? :S2012-11-11

    No, not correct. Matrix multiplication is a bit more complicated. LHS looks like: $\pmatrix{a\cdot xw_1+b\cdot xw_2 \\ c\cdot xw_1 + d\cdot xw_2}$, the RHS don't change. So it means $a\cdot xw_1+b\cdot xw_2 = xv_1$ and $c\cdot xw_1 + d\cdot xw_2 = xv_2$. And similarl for the $y$'s.2012-11-11

    Yeah that's what I did. But I thought I had to fill in a, b, c and d to get the RHS. But I think I'm kinda confused. Is the principle the same as my problem?2012-11-11
