### 26.14.2 Translations in the plane

See Section 27.12.2 for translations in space.

The translation command creates a translation.

- translation takes one mandatory argument and one optional argument:
  - v, the translation vector, which can be given as a vector, a list of coordinates, a difference of points or a complex number.
  - Optionally, G, a geometric object.
- translation(v) returns a new command which translates by v.
- translation(v,G) returns and draws the translation G by the vector v.

#### Examples

t:=translation(1+i); t(-2)

translation([1,1],line(-2,-i))
