Affine transformation of circular arc in 3D
5
$begingroup$
Start with a quarter-circle of radius 1 centered at the origin and lying in the xz-plane:
arc = ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[t], 0, Sin[t]]}, {t, 0, π/2}]
I want to dilate this by a factor of 2 and shift the center to {3, 0, 0}, then show the result graphically.
The following does not work:
shiftAndDilate3D = AffineTransform[{2 IdentityMatrix[3], {3, 0, 0}}]
Graphics3D[GeometricTransformation[arc3D, shiftAndDilate3D]]
The error I get is that "Graphics3DBox is not a Graphics3D primitive or directive."
What am I doing wrong?

You could work with regions instead. Your arc:
arc = ParametricRegion[{Cos[t], 0, Sin[t]}, {{t, 0, [Pi]/2}}];
The transformed arc:
shiftAndDilate3D = AffineTransform[{2 IdentityMatrix[3], {3, 0, 0}}];
new = TransformedRegion[arc, shiftAndDilate3D];
Visualization:
Show[
Region[arc, BaseStyle->Red],
Region[new, BaseStyle->Blue],
Axes->True
]

How should one know from the Mathematica documentation thatParametricRegionis a "region" suitable for the 1st argument toTransformedRegion? (The documentation involvingGeometricTransformatino,Region, etc., is sadly deficient. As withImage, these things seem to have been thrown into Mathematica without sufficient exposition, or perhaps even without sufficient coherence for the various kinds of things, on the one hand, and sufficient distinctions among them, on the other hand.)

But I'm annoyed by the different method to style the resulting graphics display, namely, through use of theBaseStyleoption ofRegioninstead of the usualPlotStyleoption ofParametricPlot3Dand so many other graphics and graphics 3D functions. Moreover, why should it be necessary to wrap the result of aParametricRegionexpression with aRegion? Either there's something fundamental here I don't understand, or else a whole slew of graphics-like or geometric-like constructs have been thrown into recent versions of Mathematica without sufficient rationalization of the whole domain.

@murray Lots of questions. For a brief overview of regions, see reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/GeometricComputation. Basically, a region is a computable object. Region is a function that displays the object (similar to RegionPlot). Show converts a region object to a Graphics/Graphics3D object. ParametricRegion has a different syntax because it supports arguments without bounds, e.g.,ParametricRegion[{Cos[t], 0, Sin[t]}, t].

You cannot apply those geometric transformations to the results of the plotting; instead, you should apply them to a Graphics primitive, e.g. the Line object generated by ParametricPlot, which you can extract using e.g. Cases:
arcLine =
First@Cases[ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[t], 0, Sin[t]}, {t, 0, π/2}], _Line, All]
Graphics3D[{
Red, arcLine,
Blue, GeometricTransformation[arcLine, shiftAndDilate3D]
}]
In red in the plot above is your original curve, in blue the transformed one.

Alas, the doc page guide/GraphicsObjects does not fully identify or clarify what is, and what is not, a "graphics object". For example, given the answer by Carl Woll to my question, aParametricRegionseems to qualify as such an object, yet is not listed on that guide page. So the documentation list of graphics objects doesn't specify what they are, and certainly -- and this is perhaps a real design defect -- theHeadof these objects doesn't tell you that they are "graphics objects"!

Use arc3D[[1]] (which contains all the graphics primitives and their styles) as the first argument of GeometricTransformation:
arc3D = ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[t], 0, Sin[t]}, {t, 0, π/2}]
Show[arc3D,
Graphics3D[GeometricTransformation[arc3D[[1]], shiftAndDilate3D] /. l_Line :> {Orange, l}],

Alas, the doc page guide/GraphicsObjects does not fully identify or clarify what is, and what is not, a "graphics object". For example, given the answer by Carl Woll to my question, aParametricRegionseems to qualify as such an object, yet is not listed on that guide page. So the documentation list of graphics objects doesn't specify what they are, and certainly -- and this is perhaps a real design defect -- theHeadof these objects doesn't tell you that they are "graphics objects"!

You cannot apply those geometric transformations to the results of the plotting; instead, you should apply them to a Graphics primitive, e.g. the Line object generated by ParametricPlot, which you can extract using e.g. Cases:
arcLine =
First@Cases[ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[t], 0, Sin[t]}, {t, 0, π/2}], _Line, All]
Graphics3D[{
Red, arcLine,
Blue, GeometricTransformation[arcLine, shiftAndDilate3D]
}]
In red in the plot above is your original curve, in blue the transformed one.

Where in the documentation does it explain what is, and what is not, a "geometric object"?

@murray I was being loose with words there. I really meant a "Graphicsprimitive", such as those discussed in this guide:Graphicsobjects. I fixed it in the answer.

Use arc3D[[1]] (which contains all the graphics primitives and their styles) as the first argument of GeometricTransformation:
arc3D = ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[t], 0, Sin[t]}, {t, 0, π/2}]
Show[arc3D,
Graphics3D[GeometricTransformation[arc3D[[1]], shiftAndDilate3D] /. l_Line :> {Orange, l}],
PlotRange -> All]

I cannot reproduce that. Rather, I get an error message: "An improperly formatted option was encountered while reading a Graphics3DBox. The left-hand side of the option was not a symbol or string."
