Scalable Vector Graphics: Coordinate Systems, Transformations and Units, Section 7.14.5

Syntax

object.createSVGTransformFromMatrix(matrix)

Parameters

matrix [in]

Type: ISVGMatrix

The SVGMatrix matrix that defines the desired transformation.

Return value

Type: ISVGTransform

An SVGTransform object.

Standards information

Scalable Vector Graphics: Coordinate Systems, Transformations and Units, Section 7.14.5

Remarks

The createSVGTransformFromMatrix method creates an SVGTransform object, of transform type SVG_TRANSFORM_MATRIX, whose values are given by the matrix parameter. The values from the matrix parameter are copied; the matrix parameter is not adopted as the matrix property.

The SVGTransform object corresponds to a single matrix() component within an element's transform attribute specification.

Note For SVGSVGElement elements, the SVGTransform object is created outside of any document trees.
