The incidence structure and the cross-ratio are fundamental invariants under projective transformations.
Under the projective transformations, the incidence structure and the cross-ratio are preserved.
The cross-ratio is invariant under the projective transformations of the line.
It is essentially unique, up to projective transformation (the twisted cubic, therefore).
This normal form thus classifies real non-singular quadrics up to a projective transformation.
Two twisted N-gons are equivalent if a projective transformation carries one to the other.
This explains the statement that the pentagram map commutes with projective transformations.
If two n-gons are related by a projective transformation, they get the same coordinates.
The scene composed of these world points is within a projective transformation of the true scene.
They went on to investigate W-curves, curves invariant under a group of projective transformations.
