| Input | Description |
|---|---|
x | Horizontal translation (left/right) |
y | Vertical translation(up/down) |
The translate() function is used to move the origin point of the coordinate system to a new location.
When you call the translate() function, all subsequent drawing commands will be relative to the new origin point. This means that if you draw a shape or line at position (50, 50) after calling translate(100, 100), it will actually appear at position (150, 150) on the canvas.
