# Matrix.Translate Method (Single, Single)
 
Applies a translate affine transform to the matrix.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Sub Translate ( _offsetX As Single, _offsetY As Single _
)
```
 
```csharp
public void Translate(float offsetX,float offsetY
)
```
 
### Parameters
 
 - offsetX
     - Type: [System.Single](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/3www918f)
The value to move the matrix horizontally.

 - offsetY
     - Type: [System.Single](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/3www918f)
The value to move the matrix vertically.
 
## Remarks
  
Internally the scaling is applied by multiplying this instance of the matrix by the affine matrix of translation. Left-sided multiplication is made. If you need to make right-sided multiplication, you can use an [overloaded version](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Matrix_Translate_3_2421af4d.htm.md) of this method which enables to specify a matrix order.
