Methods

flipX()

flipX(): DOMMatrix;

The flipX() method of the DOMMatrixReadOnly interface creates a new matrix being the result of the original matrix flipped about the x-axis. This is equivalent to multiplying the matrix by DOMMatrix(-1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0). The original matrix is not modified.

MDN Reference

Returns

DOMMatrix

Inherited from

DOMMatrixReadOnly.flipX


flipY()

flipY(): DOMMatrix;

The flipY() method of the DOMMatrixReadOnly interface creates a new matrix being the result of the original matrix flipped about the y-axis. This is equivalent to multiplying the matrix by DOMMatrix(1, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0). The original matrix is not modified.

MDN Reference

Returns

DOMMatrix

Inherited from

DOMMatrixReadOnly.flipY


inverse()

inverse(): DOMMatrix;

The inverse() method of the DOMMatrixReadOnly interface creates a new matrix which is the inverse of the original matrix. If the matrix cannot be inverted, the new matrix's components are all set to NaN and its is2D property is set to false. The original matrix is not changed.

MDN Reference

Returns

DOMMatrix

Inherited from

DOMMatrixReadOnly.inverse


invertSelf()

invertSelf(): DOMMatrix;

The invertSelf() method of the DOMMatrix interface inverts the original matrix. If the matrix cannot be inverted, the new matrix's components are all set to NaN and its is2D property is set to false.

MDN Reference

Returns

DOMMatrix


multiply()

multiply(other?): DOMMatrix;

The multiply() method of the DOMMatrixReadOnly interface creates and returns a new matrix which is the dot product of the matrix and the otherMatrix parameter. If otherMatrix is omitted, the matrix is multiplied by a matrix in which every element is 0 except the bottom-right corner and the element immediately above and to its left: m33 and m34. These have the default value of 1. The original matrix is not modified.

MDN Reference

Parameters

ParameterType
other?DOMMatrixInit

Returns

DOMMatrix

Inherited from

DOMMatrixReadOnly.multiply


multiplySelf()

multiplySelf(other?): DOMMatrix;

The multiplySelf() method of the DOMMatrix interface multiplies a matrix by the otherMatrix parameter, computing the dot product of the original matrix and the specified matrix: A⋅B. If no matrix is specified as the multiplier, the matrix is multiplied by a matrix in which every element is 0 except the bottom-right corner and the element immediately above and to its left: m33 and m34. These have the default value of 1.

MDN Reference

Parameters

ParameterType
other?DOMMatrixInit

Returns

DOMMatrix


preMultiplySelf()

preMultiplySelf(other?): DOMMatrix;

The preMultiplySelf() method of the DOMMatrix interface modifies the matrix by pre-multiplying it with the specified DOMMatrix. This is equivalent to the dot product B⋅A, where matrix A is the source matrix and B is the matrix given as an input to the method. If no matrix is specified as the multiplier, the matrix is multiplied by a matrix in which every element is 0 except the bottom-right corner and the element immediately above and to its left: m33 and m34. These have the default value of 1.
