gears.matrix.create_scale (sx, sy)
Create a new scaling matrix

Parameters:

  • sx number The scaling in x direction.
  • sy number The scaling in y direction.

Returns:

    A new matrix describing the given transformation.
gears.matrix.create_rotate (angle)
Create a new rotation matrix

Parameters:

  • angle number The angle of the rotation in radians.

Returns:

    A new matrix describing the given transformation.
gears.matrix.create_rotate_at (x, y, angle)
Create a new rotation matrix rotating around a custom point

Parameters:

  • y number The vertical rotation point
  • angle number The angle of the rotation in radians.

Returns:

    A new matrix describing the given transformation.

Fields

gears.matrix.identity matrix
A constant for the identity matrix.

Methods

:translate (x, y)
Translate this matrix

Parameters:

  • x number The translation in x direction.
  • y number The translation in y direction.

Returns:

    A new matrix describing the new transformation.
:scale (sx, sy)
Scale this matrix

Parameters:

  • sx number The scaling in x direction.
  • sy number The scaling in y direction.

Returns:

    A new matrix describing the new transformation.
:rotate (angle)
Rotate this matrix

Parameters:

  • angle number The angle of the rotation in radians.

Returns:

    A new matrix describing the new transformation.
:rotate_at (x, y, angle)
Rotate a shape from a custom point

Parameters:

  • x number The horizontal rotation point
  • y number The vertical rotation point
  • angle number The angle (in radiant: -2math.pi to 2math.pi)

Returns:

    A transformation object
:invert ()
Invert this matrix

Returns:

    A new matrix describing the inverse transformation.
:multiply (other)
Multiply this matrix with another matrix. The resulting matrix describes a transformation that is equivalent to first applying this transformation and then the transformation from other. Note that this function can also be called by directly multiplicating two matrix instances: a * b == a:multiply(b).

Parameters:

  • other gears.matrix or cairo.Matrix The other matrix to multiply with.

Returns:

    The multiplication result.
:equals (other)
Check if two matrices are equal. Note that this function cal also be called by directly comparing two matrix instances: a == b.

Parameters:

  • other gears.matrix or cairo.Matrix The matrix to compare with.

Returns:

    True if this and the other matrix are equal.
:tostring ()
Get a string representation of this matrix

Returns:

    A string showing this matrix in column form.
:transform_distance (x, y)
Transform a distance by this matrix. The difference to matrix:transform_point is that the translation part of this matrix is ignored.

Parameters:

  • x number The x coordinate of the point.
  • y number The y coordinate of the point.

Returns:

  1. number The x coordinate of the transformed point.
  2. number The x coordinate of the transformed point.
:transform_point (x, y)
Transform a point by this matrix.

Parameters:

  • x number The x coordinate of the point.
  • y number The y coordinate of the point.

Returns:

  1. number The x coordinate of the transformed point.
  2. number The y coordinate of the transformed point.
:transform_rectangle (x, y, width, height)
Calculate a bounding rectangle for transforming a rectangle by a matrix.

Parameters:

  • x number The x coordinate of the rectangle.
  • y number The y coordinate of the rectangle.
  • width number The width of the rectangle.
  • height number The height of the rectangle.

Returns:

  1. number X coordinate of the bounding rectangle.
  2. number Y coordinate of the bounding rectangle.
  3. number Width of the bounding rectangle.
  4. number Height of the bounding rectangle.
:to_cairo_matrix ()
Convert to a cairo matrix

Returns:

    cairo.Matrix A cairo matrix describing the same transformation.
:from_cairo_matrix (mat)
Convert to a cairo matrix

Parameters:

  • mat cairo.Matrix A cairo matrix describing the sought transformation

Returns:

    gears.matrix A matrix instance describing the same transformation.
