      public class AffineTransform
      extends Object
      implements Cloneable, Serializable

  The `AffineTransform` class represents a 2D affine transform that performs a linear mapping from 2D coordinates to other 2D coordinates that preserves the "straightness" and "parallelness" of lines. Affine transformations can be constructed using sequences of translations, scales, flips, rotations, and shears.

  Such a coordinate transformation can be represented by a 3 row by 3 column matrix with an implied last row of [ 0 0 1 ]. This matrix transforms source coordinates `(x,y)` into destination coordinates `(x',y')` by considering them to be a column vector and multiplying the coordinate vector by the matrix according to the following process:

            [ x']   [  m00  m01  m02  ] [ x ]   [ m00x + m01y + m02 ]
            [ y'] = [  m10  m11  m12  ] [ y ] = [ m10x + m11y + m12 ]
            [ 1 ]   [   0    0    1   ] [ 1 ]   [         1         ]

  ### Handling 90-Degree Rotations

  In some variations of the `rotate` methods in the `AffineTransform` class, a double-precision argument specifies the angle of rotation in radians. These methods have special handling for rotations of approximately 90 degrees (including multiples such as 180, 270, and 360 degrees), so that the common case of quadrant rotation is handled more efficiently. This special handling can cause angles very close to multiples of 90 degrees to be treated as if they were exact multiples of 90 degrees. For small multiples of 90 degrees the range of angles treated as a quadrant rotation is approximately 0.00000121 degrees wide. This section explains why such special care is needed and how it is implemented.

  Since 90 degrees is represented as `PI/2` in radians, and since PI is a transcendental (and therefore irrational) number, it is not possible to exactly represent a multiple of 90 degrees as an exact double precision value measured in radians. As a result it is theoretically impossible to describe quadrant rotations (90, 180, 270 or 360 degrees) using these values. Double precision floating point values can get very close to non-zero multiples of `PI/2` but never close enough for the sine or cosine to be exactly 0.0, 1.0 or -1.0. The implementations of `Math.sin()` and `Math.cos()` correspondingly never return 0.0 for any case other than `Math.sin(0.0)`. These same implementations do, however, return exactly 1.0 and -1.0 for some range of numbers around each multiple of 90 degrees since the correct answer is so close to 1.0 or -1.0 that the double precision significand cannot represent the difference as accurately as it can for numbers that are near 0.0.

  The net result of these issues is that if the `Math.sin()` and `Math.cos()` methods are used to directly generate the values for the matrix modifications during these radian-based rotation operations then the resulting transform is never strictly classifiable as a quadrant rotation even for a simple case like `rotate(Math.PI/2.0)`, due to minor variations in the matrix caused by the non-0.0 values obtained for the sine and cosine. If these transforms are not classified as quadrant rotations then subsequent code which attempts to optimize further operations based upon the type of the transform will be relegated to its most general implementation.

  Because quadrant rotations are fairly common, this class should handle these cases reasonably quickly, both in applying the rotations to the transform and in applying the resulting transform to the coordinates. To facilitate this optimal handling, the methods which take an angle of rotation measured in radians attempt to detect angles that are intended to be quadrant rotations and treat them as such. These methods therefore treat an angle theta as a quadrant rotation if either `Math.sin(theta)` or `Math.cos(theta)` returns exactly 1.0 or -1.0. As a rule of thumb, this property holds true for a range of approximately 0.0000000211 radians (or 0.00000121 degrees) around small multiples of `Math.PI/2.0`.

An identity transform is one in which the output coordinates are always the same as the input coordinates. If this transform is anything other than the identity transform, the type will either be the constant GENERAL_TRANSFORM or a combination of the appropriate flag bits for the various coordinate conversions that this transform performs.

    - #### TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE

          public static final int TYPE_GENERAL_SCALE

      This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a general scale in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits.

    - #### TYPE_FLIP

          public static final int TYPE_FLIP

      This flag bit indicates that the transform defined by this object performs a mirror image flip about some axis which changes the normally right handed coordinate system into a left handed system in addition to the conversions indicated by other flag bits. A right handed coordinate system is one where the positive X axis rotates counterclockwise to overlay the positive Y axis similar to the direction that the fingers on your right hand curl when you stare end on at your thumb. A left handed coordinate system is one where the positive X axis rotates clockwise to overlay the positive Y axis similar to the direction that the fingers on your left hand curl. There is no mathematical way to determine the angle of the original flipping or mirroring transformation since all angles of flip are identical given an appropriate adjusting rotation.

      Constructs a new `AffineTransform` from an array of double precision values representing either the 4 non-translation entries or the 6 specifiable entries of the 3x3 transformation matrix. The values are retrieved from the array as { m00 m10 m01 m11 [m02 m12]}.
      Parameters:
        `flatmatrix` - the double array containing the values to be set in the new `AffineTransform` object. The length of the array is assumed to be at least 4. If the length of the array is less than 6, only the first 4 values are taken. If the length of the array is greater than 6, the first 6 values are taken.

               Tx.translate(anchorx, anchory);    // S3: final translation
               Tx.rotate(theta);                  // S2: rotate around anchor

    - #### getDeterminant

          public double getDeterminant()

      Returns the determinant of the matrix representation of the transform. The determinant is useful both to determine if the transform can be inverted and to get a single value representing the combined X and Y scaling of the transform.

      If the determinant is non-zero, then this transform is invertible and the various methods that depend on the inverse transform do not need to throw a `NoninvertibleTransformException`. If the determinant is zero then this transform can not be inverted since the transform maps all input coordinates onto a line or a point. If the determinant is near enough to zero then inverse transform operations might not carry enough precision to produce meaningful results.

      If this transform represents a uniform scale, as indicated by the `getType` method then the determinant also represents the square of the uniform scale factor by which all of the points are expanded from or contracted towards the origin. If this transform represents a non-uniform scale or more general transform then the determinant is not likely to represent a value useful for any purpose other than determining if inverse transforms are possible.

      Mathematically, the determinant is calculated using the formula:

                    |  m00  m01  m02  |
                    |  m10  m11  m12  |  =  m00 * m11 - m01 * m10
                    |   0    0    1   |

      Returns:
        the determinant of the matrix used to transform the coordinates.

                                    double anchory)

      Sets this transform to a translated rotation transformation. This operation is equivalent to translating the coordinates so that the anchor point is at the origin (S1), then rotating them about the new origin (S2), and finally translating so that the intermediate origin is restored to the coordinates of the original anchor point (S3).

      This operation is equivalent to the following sequence of calls:

               setToTranslation(anchorx, anchory); // S3: final translation
               rotate(theta);                      // S2: rotate around anchor
               translate(-anchorx, -anchory);      // S1: translate anchor to origin

      The matrix representing this transform becomes:

                    [   cos(theta)    -sin(theta)    x-x*cos+y*sin  ]
                    [   sin(theta)     cos(theta)    y-x*sin-y*cos  ]

                                    double vecy)

      Sets this transform to a rotation transformation that rotates coordinates according to a rotation vector. All coordinates rotate about the origin by the same amount. The amount of rotation is such that coordinates along the former positive X axis will subsequently align with the vector pointing from the origin to the specified vector coordinates. If both `vecx` and `vecy` are 0.0, the transform is set to an identity transform. This operation is equivalent to calling:

               setToRotation(Math.atan2(vecy, vecx));

        `vecx` - the X coordinate of the rotation vector

If both `vecx` and `vecy` are 0.0, the transform is set to an identity transform. This operation is equivalent to calling:

    - #### concatenate

          public void concatenate(AffineTransform Tx)

      Concatenates an `AffineTransform` `Tx` to this `AffineTransform` Cx in the most commonly useful way to provide a new user space that is mapped to the former user space by `Tx`. Cx is updated to perform the combined transformation. Transforming a point p by the updated transform Cx' is equivalent to first transforming p by `Tx` and then transforming the result by the original transform Cx like this: Cx'(p) = Cx(Tx(p)) In matrix notation, if this transform Cx is represented by the matrix [this] and `Tx` is represented by the matrix [Tx] then this method does the following:

                    [this] = [this] x [Tx]

      Parameters:
        `Tx` - the `AffineTransform` object to be concatenated with this `AffineTransform` object.

      Concatenates an `AffineTransform` `Tx` to this `AffineTransform` Cx in a less commonly used way such that `Tx` modifies the coordinate transformation relative to the absolute pixel space rather than relative to the existing user space. Cx is updated to perform the combined transformation. Transforming a point p by the updated transform Cx' is equivalent to first transforming p by the original transform Cx and then transforming the result by `Tx` like this: Cx'(p) = Tx(Cx(p)) In matrix notation, if this transform Cx is represented by the matrix [this] and `Tx` is represented by the matrix [Tx] then this method does the following:

                    [this] = [Tx] x [this]

      Parameters:
        `Tx` - the `AffineTransform` object to be concatenated with this `AffineTransform` object.

                                        throws NoninvertibleTransformException

      Returns an `AffineTransform` object representing the inverse transformation. The inverse transform Tx' of this transform Tx maps coordinates transformed by Tx back to their original coordinates. In other words, Tx'(Tx(p)) = p = Tx(Tx'(p)).

      If this transform maps all coordinates onto a point or a line then it will not have an inverse, since coordinates that do not lie on the destination point or line will not have an inverse mapping. The `getDeterminant` method can be used to determine if this transform has no inverse, in which case an exception will be thrown if the `createInverse` method is called.

      Returns:
        a new `AffineTransform` object representing the inverse transformation.
      Throws:
        `NoninvertibleTransformException` - if the matrix cannot be inverted.
      Since:

    - #### invert

          public void invert()
                      throws NoninvertibleTransformException

      Sets this transform to the inverse of itself. The inverse transform Tx' of this transform Tx maps coordinates transformed by Tx back to their original coordinates. In other words, Tx'(Tx(p)) = p = Tx(Tx'(p)).

      If this transform maps all coordinates onto a point or a line then it will not have an inverse, since coordinates that do not lie on the destination point or line will not have an inverse mapping. The `getDeterminant` method can be used to determine if this transform has no inverse, in which case an exception will be thrown if the `invert` method is called.

      Throws:
        `NoninvertibleTransformException` - if the matrix cannot be inverted.

          public Point2D transform(Point2D ptSrc,
                                   Point2D ptDst)

      Transforms the specified `ptSrc` and stores the result in `ptDst`. If `ptDst` is `null`, a new `Point2D` object is allocated and then the result of the transformation is stored in this object. In either case, `ptDst`, which contains the transformed point, is returned for convenience. If `ptSrc` and `ptDst` are the same object, the input point is correctly overwritten with the transformed point.
      Parameters:
        `ptSrc` - the specified `Point2D` to be transformed
        `ptDst` - the specified `Point2D` that stores the result of transforming `ptSrc`
      Returns:
        the `ptDst` after transforming `ptSrc` and storing the result in `ptDst`.

                                int numPts)

      Transforms an array of point objects by this transform. If any element of the `ptDst` array is `null`, a new `Point2D` object is allocated and stored into that element before storing the results of the transformation.

      Note that this method does not take any precautions to avoid problems caused by storing results into `Point2D` objects that will be used as the source for calculations further down the source array. This method does guarantee that if a specified `Point2D` object is both the source and destination for the same single point transform operation then the results will not be stored until the calculations are complete to avoid storing the results on top of the operands. If, however, the destination `Point2D` object for one operation is the same object as the source `Point2D` object for another operation further down the source array then the original coordinates in that point are overwritten before they can be converted.

      Parameters:
        `ptSrc` - the array containing the source point objects
        `ptDst` - the array into which the transform point objects are returned
        `srcOff` - the offset to the first point object to be transformed in the source array
        `dstOff` - the offset to the location of the first transformed point object that is stored in the destination array

                                int numPts)

      Transforms an array of floating point coordinates by this transform. The two coordinate array sections can be exactly the same or can be overlapping sections of the same array without affecting the validity of the results. This method ensures that no source coordinates are overwritten by a previous operation before they can be transformed. The coordinates are stored in the arrays starting at the specified offset in the order `[x0, y0, x1, y1, ..., xn, yn]`.
      Parameters:
        `srcPts` - the array containing the source point coordinates. Each point is stored as a pair of x, y coordinates.

          public Point2D inverseTransform(Point2D ptSrc,
                                          Point2D ptDst)
                                   throws NoninvertibleTransformException

      Inverse transforms the specified `ptSrc` and stores the result in `ptDst`. If `ptDst` is `null`, a new `Point2D` object is allocated and then the result of the transform is stored in this object. In either case, `ptDst`, which contains the transformed point, is returned for convenience. If `ptSrc` and `ptDst` are the same object, the input point is correctly overwritten with the transformed point.
      Parameters:
        `ptSrc` - the point to be inverse transformed
        `ptDst` - the resulting transformed point
      Returns:
        `ptDst`, which contains the result of the inverse transform.
      Throws:
        `NoninvertibleTransformException` - if the matrix cannot be inverted.
      Since:

    - #### inverseTransform

          public void inverseTransform(double[] srcPts,
                                       int srcOff,
                                       double[] dstPts,

                                throws NoninvertibleTransformException

      Inverse transforms an array of double precision coordinates by this transform. The two coordinate array sections can be exactly the same or can be overlapping sections of the same array without affecting the validity of the results. This method ensures that no source coordinates are overwritten by a previous operation before they can be transformed. The coordinates are stored in the arrays starting at the specified offset in the order `[x0, y0, x1, y1, ..., xn, yn]`.
      Parameters:
        `srcPts` - the array containing the source point coordinates. Each point is stored as a pair of x, y coordinates.
        `dstPts` - the array into which the transformed point coordinates are returned. Each point is stored as a pair of x, y coordinates.
        `srcOff` - the offset to the first point to be transformed in the source array
        `dstOff` - the offset to the location of the first transformed point that is stored in the destination array
        `numPts` - the number of point objects to be transformed
      Throws:
        `NoninvertibleTransformException` - if the matrix cannot be inverted.
      Since:
        1.2

    - #### deltaTransform

          public Point2D deltaTransform(Point2D ptSrc,
                                        Point2D ptDst)

      Transforms the relative distance vector specified by `ptSrc` and stores the result in `ptDst`. A relative distance vector is transformed without applying the translation components of the affine transformation matrix using the following equations:

            [  x' ]   [  m00  m01 (m02) ] [  x  ]   [ m00x + m01y ]
            [  y' ] = [  m10  m11 (m12) ] [  y  ] = [ m10x + m11y ]
            [ (1) ]   [  (0)  (0) ( 1 ) ] [ (1) ]   [     (1)     ]

      If `ptDst` is `null`, a new `Point2D` object is allocated and then the result of the transform is stored in this object. In either case, `ptDst`, which contains the transformed point, is returned for convenience. If `ptSrc` and `ptDst` are the same object, the input point is correctly overwritten with the transformed point.
      Parameters:
        `ptSrc` - the distance vector to be delta transformed
        `ptDst` - the resulting transformed distance vector
      Returns:
        `ptDst`, which contains the result of the transformation.

                                     int numPts)

      Transforms an array of relative distance vectors by this transform. A relative distance vector is transformed without applying the translation components of the affine transformation matrix using the following equations:

            [  x' ]   [  m00  m01 (m02) ] [  x  ]   [ m00x + m01y ]
            [  y' ] = [  m10  m11 (m12) ] [  y  ] = [ m10x + m11y ]
            [ (1) ]   [  (0)  (0) ( 1 ) ] [ (1) ]   [     (1)     ]

      The two coordinate array sections can be exactly the same or can be overlapping sections of the same array without affecting the validity of the results. This method ensures that no source coordinates are overwritten by a previous operation before they can be transformed. The coordinates are stored in the arrays starting at the indicated offset in the order `[x0, y0, x1, y1, ..., xn, yn]`.
      Parameters:
        `srcPts` - the array containing the source distance vectors. Each vector is stored as a pair of relative x, y coordinates.
