Gets an identity Matrix.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Media
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared ReadOnly Property Identity As Matrix
public static Matrix Identity { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Media.Matrix
An identity matrix.

Remarks

An identity matrix has a value of 1 in coefficients [1,1],[2,2],[3,3] and a value of 0 in the rest of the coefficients. This correlates to setting M11 and M22 to 1 and M12, M21, OffsetX, and OffsetY to 0. In an affine matrix, which is the implementation that Silverlight uses for the Matrix structure, coefficients [3,1],[3,2],[3,3] are implied to always have the values 0,0,1 respectively.
