I need to translate it to this system:
(0,0) (1,0)

(0,1) (1,1)
The translation has to be somewhat dynamic such that if the rectangle has different dimensions than those listed above, I can still translate to the system (0,0) - (1,1).
If possible, an algebraic solution for x and y would be even better.
I'm totally stumped here, can anyone assist? |
Lets say that the original co-ordinates are (a,c),(b,c),(a,d),(b,d)
where in you question a=.38, b=.62, c=.42,d=.58
and, let x,y be the old co-ordinate axes and X,Y be the new co-ordinate axes
then, the transformation equations are
