+  * \class Transform
+  *
+  * \brief Represents an homogeneous transformation in a N dimensional space
+  *
+  * \tparam _Scalar the scalar type, i.e., the type of the coefficients
+  * \tparam _Dim the dimension of the space
+  * \tparam _Mode the type of the transformation. Can be:
+  *              - #Affine: the transformation is stored as a (Dim+1)^2 matrix,
+  *                         where the last row is assumed to be [0 ... 0 1].
+  *              - #AffineCompact: the transformation is stored as a (Dim)x(Dim+1) matrix.
+  *              - #Projective: the transformation is stored as a (Dim+1)^2 matrix
+  *                             without any assumption.
+  * \tparam _Options has the same meaning as in class Matrix. It allows to specify DontAlign and/or RowMajor.
+  *                  These Options are passed directly to the underlying matrix type.
+  *
+  * The homography is internally represented and stored by a matrix which
+  * is available through the matrix() method. To understand the behavior of
+  * this class you have to think a Transform object as its internal
+  * matrix representation. The chosen convention is right multiply:
+  *
+  * \code v' = T * v \endcode
+  *
+  * Therefore, an affine transformation matrix M is shaped like this:
+  *
+  * \f$ \left( \begin{array}{cc}
+  * linear & translation\\
+  * 0 ... 0 & 1
+  * \end{array} \right) \f$
+  *
+  * Note that for a projective transformation the last row can be anything,
+  * and then the interpretation of different parts might be sightly different.
+  *
+  * However, unlike a plain matrix, the Transform class provides many features
+  * simplifying both its assembly and usage. In particular, it can be composed
+  * with any other transformations (Transform,Translation,RotationBase,Matrix)
+  * and can be directly used to transform implicit homogeneous vectors. All these
+  * operations are handled via the operator*. For the composition of transformations,
+  * its principle consists to first convert the right/left hand sides of the product
+  * to a compatible (Dim+1)^2 matrix and then perform a pure matrix product.
+  * Of course, internally, operator* tries to perform the minimal number of operations
+  * according to the nature of each terms. Likewise, when applying the transform
+  * to non homogeneous vectors, the latters are automatically promoted to homogeneous
+  * one before doing the matrix product. The convertions to homogeneous representations
+  * are performed as follow:
+  *
+  * \b Translation t (Dim)x(1):
+  * \f$ \left( \begin{array}{cc}
+  * I & t \\
+  * 0\,...\,0 & 1
+  * \end{array} \right) \f$
+  *
+  * \b Rotation R (Dim)x(Dim):
+  * \f$ \left( \begin{array}{cc}
+  * R & 0\\
+  * 0\,...\,0 & 1
+  * \end{array} \right) \f$
+  *
+  * \b Linear \b Matrix L (Dim)x(Dim):
+  * \f$ \left( \begin{array}{cc}
+  * L & 0\\
+  * 0\,...\,0 & 1
+  * \end{array} \right) \f$
+  *
+  * \b Affine \b Matrix A (Dim)x(Dim+1):
+  * \f$ \left( \begin{array}{c}
+  * A\\
+  * 0\,...\,0\,1
+  * \end{array} \right) \f$
+  *
+  * \b Column \b vector v (Dim)x(1):
+  * \f$ \left( \begin{array}{c}
+  * v\\
+  * 1
+  * \end{array} \right) \f$
+  *
+  * \b Set \b of \b column \b vectors V1...Vn (Dim)x(n):
+  * \f$ \left( \begin{array}{ccc}
+  * v_1 & ... & v_n\\
+  * 1 & ... & 1
+  * \end{array} \right) \f$
+  *
+  * The concatenation of a Transform object with any kind of other transformation
+  * always returns a Transform object.
+  *
+  * A little exception to the "as pure matrix product" rule is the case of the
+  * transformation of non homogeneous vectors by an affine transformation. In
+  * that case the last matrix row can be ignored, and the product returns non
+  * homogeneous vectors.
+  *
+  * Since, for instance, a Dim x Dim matrix is interpreted as a linear transformation,
+  * it is not possible to directly transform Dim vectors stored in a Dim x Dim matrix.
+  * The solution is either to use a Dim x Dynamic matrix or explicitly request a
+  * vector transformation by making the vector homogeneous:
+  * \code
+  * m' = T * m.colwise().homogeneous();
+  * \endcode
+  * Note that there is zero overhead.
+  *
+  * Conversion methods from/to Qt's QMatrix and QTransform are available if the
+  * preprocessor token EIGEN_QT_SUPPORT is defined.
+  *
+  * This class can be extended with the help of the plugin mechanism described on the page
+  * \ref TopicCustomizingEigen by defining the preprocessor symbol \c EIGEN_TRANSFORM_PLUGIN.
