Create and access transform nodes.
The MFnTransform function set provides access to transformation DAG nodes called transforms.
DAG nodes are separated into two types, transforms and geometry nodes. All DAG nodes that are not transform nodes must exist as a child of a transform node. Only transforms provide transformation information. Transforms are also commonly used as parent nodes for the purpose of hierarchical grouping.
The transformation in the node is represented as a 4x4 transformation matrix. This function set allows access to the whole matrix, or the individual components (eg scale, rotation, shear, etc) of the transformation. The transform node is made up of many components that make up the final transformation matrix. This breakdown provides animators fine control over the animation of these parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to describe the order in which these attributes are applied to build the final matrix attribute.
A transformation matrix is composed of the following components. All components with units will be in Maya's internal units (radians for rotations and centimeters for translations):
- Scale pivot point point around which scales are performed [Sp]
- Scale scaling about x, y, z axes [S]
- Shear shearing in xy, xz, yx [Sh]
- Scale pivot translation translation introduced to preserve existing scale transformations when moving pivot. This is used to prevent the object from moving when the object's pivot point is not at the origin and a non-unit scale is applied to the object [St].
- Rotate pivot point point about which rotations are performed [Rp]
- Rotation orientation rotation to orient local rotation space [Ro]
- Rotation rotation [R]
- Rotate pivot translation translation introduced to preserve existing rotate transformations when moving pivot. This is used to prevent the object from moving when the object's pivot point is not at the origin and the pivot is moved. [Rt]
- Translate translation in x, y, z axes [T]
The matrices are post-multiplied in Maya. For example, to transform a point P from object-space to world-space (P') you would need to post-multiply by the worldMatrix. (P' = P x WM)
The transformation matrix is then constructed as follows:
-1 -1
[Sp]x[S]x[Sh]x[Sp]x[St]x[Rp]x[Ro]x[R]x[Rp]x[Rt]x[T]
where 'x' denotes matrix multiplication and '-1' denotes matrix inversion

Note that internally the Maya transform does not store the individual component values in matrices. It stores them in the data structure which makes the most sense for that component. For example, translation is stored as a vector. The accessor methods on MFnTransform provide the data in their native structure rather than as a matrix.
Additionally, each transform can save a temporary "rest position" matrix using the setRestPosition method. The rest position is not used internally by Maya. It is exclusively for use from the API as a temporary cache, which can be set and restored within a single Maya session. Note that the rest position is not saved with the scene.
