Background: I am trying to create an animation from a linear transformation of a polygon. I have gotten as far as creating an array of graphics objects that I wish to animate. I can then use ShowAnimation[] to animate them. The problem, however, is that the transformation dialates the plane. Therefore, when I create a graphics object using Polygon[], I would like the relative sizes of the polygons to be correct, but they are all displayed at the same size (the x and y ranges are adjusted so that the figure fills the entire graphics object). My question is this: how can I tell the Polygon[] or ShowAnimation[] functions to draw the polygons so that the relative sizes are correct (ie in the same x and y ranges)?? Disclaimer: Yes, this is for a class project. Yes, it is o.k. for me to recieve help in creating the Mathematica code. Thank you in advance. -- Sincerely, Barry J.
