\title{Apply Affine Transformation}
\description{
Applies any affine transformation of the plane (linear transformation
plus vector shift) to a plane geometrical object,
such as a point pattern or a window.
}
\usage{
affine(X, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{X}{Any suitable dataset representing a two-dimensional
object, such as a point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}),
a line segment pattern (object of class \code{"psp"}),
a window (object of class \code{"owin"}) or a pixel image
(object of class \code{"im"}).
}
\item{\dots}{Arguments determining the affine transformation.}
}
\value{
Another object of the same type, representing the
result of applying the affine transformation.
}
\details{
This is generic. Methods are provided for
point patterns (\code{\link{affine.ppp}})
and windows (\code{\link{affine.owin}}).
