h2. Terminology

# A *pose* is the position of a given frame with respect to a reference frame. Whenever one writes or says the word "pose", one must say the "pose of which frame with respect to which frame".

# A *transform* is the 3D transformation from one frame to an other one. Whenever one writes or says the word "transform", one must say the "transform from which frame to which frame".

Note these two words are exactly the same concept, they denote the same data structure. They can be used indifferently, provided one use them according to the convention above.
