The transformations like scaling and rotation can be accessed using ROT that then calling POLY_2D that actually does the work. Translation can be done (easily) with shift (although this is only possible using integer translation, for non integer translations, the procedure described below may also be used...).

I think the standard way to implement a shear or rotation about a different origin, is to compose a series of transformations: translate, shear, untranslate.
You can't do translations with a simple matrix transformation. A "translation matrix" can be designed by using an (N+1)x(N+1) matrix and using homogeneous coordinates.

Not that this is more efficient, but sometimes it can simplify the notation.
