• In-class Exercise 4 - (5 lecture assignment points) due before the end of class. (if we run out of time, this will happen next class instead)

  We will work together in class to develop our first Python program describing a simple model. Make some small change to the model we made in class (change its color, for example). Then demonstrate your program and show that your Python program and the image generated are saved to your network storage area to get credit for this in-class exercise.

• Fundamental transformations
  • compositions: order matters
  • rotations
