What can I do with the matrixtransform class?

Creates an arbitrary affine matrix transformation that is used to manipulate objects or coordinate systems in a 2-D plane. Use the MatrixTransform class to create custom transformations that are not provided by the RotateTransform, SkewTransform, ScaleTransform, or TranslateTransform classes.

What can a 3×3 matrix be used for?

A 3×3 matrix is used for transformations in a 2-D x-y plane. You can multiply affine matrix transformations to form linear transformations, such as rotation and skew (shear) that are followed by translation.

What are the members of the transformation matrix?

The members in the last row, OffsetX and OffsetY, represent translation values. Methods and properties usually specify the transformation matrix as a vector that has only six members; the members are as follows: The value at position (1, 1) of the transformation Matrix.

How can I multiply an affine matrix transformation?

You can multiply affine matrix transformations to form linear transformations, such as rotation and skew (shear) that are followed by translation. An affine matrix transformation has its final column equal to (0, 0, 1); therefore, you only have to specify the members in the first two columns.
