Is there a precise term for a transformation which does not have an origin? For example, a translation of $\mathbb{R}^2$, or a deformation which is equally applied to each tile in a tiled plane, so that it looks the same everywhere? A rotation or shear would not count, since geometry further away from the origin gets deformed more than geometry near the origin.
