Interface PMatrix

All Known Implementing Classes:

PMatrix2D, PMatrix3D

public interface PMatrix

A matrix is used to define graphical transformations. PMatrix is the common interface for both the 2D and 3D matrix classes in Processing. A matrix is a grid of numbers, which can be multiplied by a vector to give another vector. Multiplying a point by a particular matrix might translate it, rotate it, or carry out a combination of transformations. Multiplying matrices by each other combines their effects; use the apply and preApply methods for this.

void reset()

Make this an identity matrix. Multiplying by it will have no effect.

get

PMatrix get()

Returns a copy of this PMatrix.

get

float[] get(float[] target)

Copies the matrix contents into a float array. If target is null (or not the correct size), a new array will be created.

set

void set(PMatrix src)

Make this matrix become a copy of src.

set

void set(float[] source)

Set the contents of this matrix to the contents of source. Fills the matrix left-to-right, starting in the top row.

set

void set(float m00,
 float m01,
 float m02,
 float m10,
 float m11,
 float m12)

Set the matrix content to this 2D matrix or its 3D equivalent.

Apply another matrix to the left of this one. 3D only.

mult

PVector mult(PVector source,
 PVector target)

Multiply source by this matrix, and return the result. The result will be stored in target if target is non-null, and target will then be the matrix returned. This improves performance if you reuse target, so it's recommended if you call this many times in draw().

mult

float[] mult(float[] source,
 float[] target)

Multiply a multi-element vector against this matrix. Supplying and recycling a target array improves performance, so it's recommended if you call this many times in draw().

transpose

void transpose()

Transpose this matrix; rows become columns and columns rows.

invert

boolean invert()

Invert this matrix. Will not necessarily succeed, because some matrices map more than one point to the same image point, and so are irreversible.

Returns:

true if successful

determinant

float determinant()

Returns:

the determinant of the matrix
