The matrix in question is:
p=(1110)
acting on vectors
(xy)
in the unit square.
Is there an intuitive way to interpret this transfomation geometrically? Or summarize it with a nice pictorial mapping from [0,1]2R2

Step 1
i^=(1,0)(1,1)
j^=(0,1)(1,0)
So, i^ is rotating 135 degrees clockwise, and stretching by a factor of 2
j^ is rotating 90 degrees clockwise, with no stretch.
This may be sufficent for you, but you could then try to break this into rotations and shears - A 90 degree clockwise rotation followed by a horizontal shear.

Step 1
It's quite a funny transformation. If you change coordinates a bit it is simply a rotation by 2π3 and p3=id. The orbit of
e1=(10)
under p is
(10)(11)(01)(10).
