Matrix

.. currentmodule:: cairo
class Matrix()
==============
*Matrix* is used throughout cairo to convert between different coordinate
spaces. A *Matrix* holds an affine transformation, such as a scale, rotation,
shear, or a combination of these. The transformation of a point (x,y) is
given by::
x_new = xx * x + xy * y + x0
y_new = yx * x + yy * y + y0
The current transformation matrix of a :class:`Context`, represented as a
*Matrix*, defines the transformation from user-space coordinates to device-space
coordinates.
Some standard Python operators can be used with matrices:
To read the values from a *Matrix*::
xx, yx, xy, yy, x0, y0 = matrix
To multiply two matrices::
matrix3 = matrix1.multiply(matrix2)
# or equivalently
matrix3 = matrix1 * matrix2
To compare two matrices::
matrix1 == matrix2
matrix1 != matrix2
For more information on matrix transformation see http://www.cairographics.org/matrix_transform
.. class:: Matrix(xx = 1.0, yx = 0.0, xy = 0.0, yy = 1.0, x0 = 0.0, y0 = 0.0)
:param xx: xx component of the affine transformation
:type xx: float
:param yx: yx component of the affine transformation
:type yx: float
:param xy: xy component of the affine transformation
:type xy: float
:param yy: yy component of the affine transformation
:type yy: float
:param x0: X translation component of the affine transformation
:type x0: float
:param y0: Y translation component of the affine transformation
:type y0: float
Create a new *Matrix* with the affine transformation given by *xx, yx, xy,
yy, x0, y0*. The transformation is given by::
x_new = xx * x + xy * y + x0
y_new = yx * x + yy * y + y0
To create a new identity matrix::
matrix = cairo.Matrix()
To create a matrix with a transformation which translates by tx and ty in the X and Y dimensions, respectively::
matrix = cairo.Matrix(x0=tx, y0=ty)
To create a matrix with a transformation that scales by sx and sy in the X and Y dimensions, respectively::
matrix = cairo.Matrix(xx=sy, yy=sy)
.. classmethod:: init_rotate(radians)
:param radians: angle of rotation, in radians. The direction of rotation
is defined such that positive angles rotate in the direction from the
positive X axis toward the positive Y axis. With the default axis
orientation of cairo, positive angles rotate in a clockwise direction.
:type radians: float
:returns: a new *Matrix* set to a transformation that rotates by *radians*.
.. method:: invert()
:returns: If *Matrix* has an inverse, modifies *Matrix* to be the
inverse matrix and returns *None*
:raises: :exc:`cairo.Error` if the *Matrix* as no inverse
Changes *Matrix* to be the inverse of it's original value. Not all
transformation matrices have inverses; if the matrix collapses points
together (it is *degenerate*), then it has no inverse and this function
will fail.
.. method:: multiply(matrix2)
:param matrix2: a second matrix
:type matrix2: cairo.Matrix
:returns: a new *Matrix*
Multiplies the affine transformations in *Matrix* and *matrix2*
together. The effect of the resulting transformation is to first apply
the transformation in *Matrix* to the coordinates and then apply the
transformation in *matrix2* to the coordinates.
It is allowable for result to be identical to either *Matrix* or *matrix2*.
.. method:: rotate(radians)
:param radians: angle of rotation, in radians. The direction of rotation
is defined such that positive angles rotate in the direction from the
positive X axis toward the positive Y axis. With the default axis
orientation of cairo, positive angles rotate in a clockwise direction.
:type radians: float
Initialize *Matrix* to a transformation that rotates by *radians*.
.. method:: scale(sx, sy)
:param sx: scale factor in the X direction
:type sx: float
:param sy: scale factor in the Y direction
:type sy: float
Applies scaling by *sx, sy* to the transformation in *Matrix*. The
effect of the new transformation is to first scale the coordinates by
*sx* and *sy*, then apply the original transformation to the
coordinates.
.. method:: transform_distance(dx, dy)
:param dx: X component of a distance vector.
:type dx: float
:param dy: Y component of a distance vector.
:type dy: float
:returns: the transformed distance vector (dx,dy)
:rtype: (float, float)
Transforms the distance vector *(dx,dy)* by *Matrix*. This is similar to
:meth:`.transform_point` except that the translation components of
the transformation are ignored. The calculation of the returned vector
is as follows::
dx2 = dx1 * a + dy1 * c
dy2 = dx1 * b + dy1 * d
Affine transformations are position invariant, so the same vector always
transforms to the same vector. If *(x1,y1)* transforms to *(x2,y2)* then
*(x1+dx1,y1+dy1)* will transform to *(x1+dx2,y1+dy2)* for all values
of *x1* and *x2*.
.. method:: transform_point(x, y)
:param x: X position.
:type x: float
:param y: Y position.
:type y: float
:returns: the transformed point (x,y)
:rtype: (float, float)
Transforms the point *(x, y)* by *Matrix*.
.. method:: translate(tx, ty)
:param tx: amount to translate in the X direction
:type tx: float
:param ty: amount to translate in the Y direction
:type ty: float
Applies a transformation by *tx, ty* to the transformation in
*Matrix*. The effect of the new transformation is to first translate the
coordinates by *tx* and *ty*, then apply the original transformation to the
coordinates.
