Window to Viewport Transformation

To display the appropriate images on the screen (or other device) it is necessary to map from world coordinates to screen or device coordinates.



This transformation is known as the window to viewport transformation, the mapping from the world coordinate window to the viewport (which is given in screen coordinates)
Window to Viewport Transformation

In general the window to viewport transformation will involve a scaling and translation as in figure below here the scaling in non-uniform (the vertical axis has been stretched).
