A graphics processing system generates and employs an affine transformation matrix of transformations for creation of computer graphics replications. The affine transformation matrix encapsulates transformations to the base art to create a replication of a computer graphic. For given transformations, the graphics processing system identifies operations and operation configuration data relating to each operation. For each operation, the graphics processing system generates coefficients for the affine transformation matrix. The affine transformation matrix is multiplied with the base art to generate the repetition. In some configurations, each repetition may require more than one affine transformation matrix to achieve the desired repetition. The order of application of affine transformation matrices to the base art is also modified depending on order of operations to be applied to the base art. A prior repetition may serve as base art for another level of repetition.
