Add translate, rotate and other affine transformations to all classes #119

Closed mscofield0 closed 1 year ago

mscofield0 commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to use a Box as a sort of underlying entity representation which has its own position and rotation, but I can see that Box, and many other classes do not have such methods on them. Would you be willing to add them?

Would like to see this implemented as well. The lack of this feature is the only thing preventing me from using this library.

Hi, @mscofield0 Shapes in this library represent math abstractions rather then entities in some scene. Then segment.translate creates a new segment object, and not set a position of a segment entity in the scene. Box.rotate() method cannot be implemented because box defined as axis-aligned box, rotated box will become a polygon, this is not what you intended, I guess. But I agree, some classes lack of transformation methods
