Synopsis

matrixUtil [-inverse] [-quaternion float float float float] [-relative] [-rotation float float float] [-scale float float float] [-shear float float float] [-translation float float float] [-transpose]

matrixUtil is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Keywords

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-inverse(-iv)
Compose or query will return the inversed matrix.
-quaternion(-qt)	float float float float
Compose, edit or query a matrix using specified quaternion values as rotation components.
-relative(-rt)
Add translation, rotation, scale or shear, instead of seting it as absolute.
-rotation(-r)	float float float
Compose, edit or query a matrix using specified values as rotation components.
-scale(-s)	float float float
Compose, edit or query a matrix using specified values as scale components.
-shear(-sh)	float float float
Compose, edit or query a matrix using specified values as shear components.
-translation(-t)	float float float
Compose a matrix using specified values as translation components.
-transpose(-tp)
Compose or query will return the transposed matrix.
