2.3 DUIM-Geometry Module

invert-transform

Generic function

Summary

Returns a transform that is the inverse of the given transform.

Signature

invert-transform transform => transform

Arguments

transform
An instance of type <transform>.

Values

transform
An instance of type <transform>.

Exceptions

If transform is singular, invert-transform signals the <singular-transform> error.

Note: With finite-precision arithmetic there are several low-level conditions that might occur during the attempt to invert a singular or almost singular transform. (These include computation of a zero determinant, floating-point underflow during computation of the determinant, or floating-point overflow during subsequent multiplication.) invert-transform signals the <singular-transform> error for all of these cases.

Library

duim-geometry

Module

duim-geometry

Description

Returns a transform that is the inverse of the transform transform. The result of composing a transform with its inverse is equal to the identity transform.
