Shear mapping, also known as shear transformation, is a type of linear transformation that distorts the shape of an object by shifting its points in a specific direction, while leaving the other dimensions unchanged. In a shear mapping, lines that are parallel remain parallel, and the angles between lines can change, but the lengths of the lines themselves do not change. In two dimensions, a shear mapping can be represented by a shear matrix.
