Methods

Method Description

AffineTransformation2D Builds a 2-D affine transformation matrix in the xy plane.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

Invert Calculates the inverse of a matrix.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

LookAtLH Builds a left-handed look-at matrix.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

LookAtRH Builds a right-handed look-at matrix.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

Multiply Determines the product of two matrices.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

MultiplyTranspose Calculates the transposed product of two matrices.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

RotationAxis Builds a matrix that rotates around an arbitrary axis.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

RotationQuaternion Builds a matrix from a quaternion.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

Scaling Builds a matrix that scales along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

Transformation Builds a transformation matrix.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

Transformation2D Builds a 2-D transformation matrix in the xy plane.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.

Translation Builds a matrix using specified offsets.
Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
