Class Name: World Transformation
Subclasses
This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.
Definition
An instance of this DRM class is a
<Transformation>, specified by a
<Location> and a <World 3x3>,
used to transform an object defined in an LSR spatial reference frame
into another spatial reference frame (usually, but not always, a
non-LSR spatial reference frame).
A <World Transformation> is either
- defined in a non-LSR spatial reference frame, then used to instance
an LSR <Model> into the non-LSR spatial
reference frame, or
- defined within an LSR spatial reference frame (SRF_1), and then used
to instance a <Model> embedded within another LSR
spatial reference frame (SRF_2) into SRF_1, in a way that maintains
the conformality of any <Location> instances in
the <Model>.

Example
Used when instancing a house onto geodetic terrain (defined by latitude
and longitude). This allows the <Location> to
position the house and the <World 3x3> to rotate
and scale the house.
See <Transformation> for examples.
