Matrix

Supported platforms:
Available since: Gideros 2011.6
Inherits from: Object

Description

The Matrix class specifies transformation from one coordinate space to another.

These transformations include translation, rotation, scaling and skewing.

A 2D transformation matrix is a 3 x 3 matrix in homogeneous coordinate system:

You can get and set the values of all six of the properties in a Matrix object: m11, m12, m21, m22, tx, and ty.

Since Gideros 2016.6, Matrix can also hold 3D (4x4) matrices.

Examples

Applying matrix to Sprite objects

local angle = math.rad(30)
-- create skew matrix
local m = Matrix.new(1, math.tan(angle), math.tan(angle), 1, 0, 0)
-- apply to Sprite
local sprite = Sprite.new()
sprite:setMatrix(m)
