Similitude Transforms
We can define a 4-parameter superset of Euclidean Transforms with additional capabilities

Properties of Similitudes:
  • Distance between any 2 points
    are changed by a fixed ratio
  • Angles are preserved
  • Maintains "similar" shape
    (similar triangles, circles map to circles, etc)
