new DOMMatrix(cssTransform : String) : DOMMatrix

Constructs a new matrix using the specified cssTransform. The syntax for this string is the same as for the css transform property.

Example:

console.log(new DOMMatrix('scale(2)'));
console.log(new DOMMatrix('translate(3px, 4px)'));
console.log(new DOMMatrix('rotate(30deg)'));
console.log();

// Can combine multiple. Note order matters.
console.log(new DOMMatrix('scale(5) translate(6px, 7px)'));
console.log(new DOMMatrix('translate(6px, 7px) scale(5)'));
console.log();

// '3d' versions

Spec

new DOMMatrix(values : Iterator<Number>) : DOMMatrix

values must have either 6 or 16 elements in it.

If 6 elements are specified (a, b, ..., f), the matrix will be a 2D matrix constructed like:

`a`	`c`	`e`
`b`	`d`	`f`
`0`	`0`	`1`

Example:

// The following are equivalent:
console.log(new DOMMatrix('scale(2)'));
console.log(new DOMMatrix([2, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0]));
console.log(DOMMatrix.fromMatrix({ a: 2, d: 2 }));

Run

Results:

If 16 elements are specified (m11, m12, m13, m14, m21, m22, ..., m44), the matrix will be a 3D matrix constructed like:

`m11`	`m12`	`m13`	`m14`
`m21`	`m22`	`m23`	`m24`
`m31`	`m32`	`m33`	`m34`

// The following are equivalent:
console.log(new DOMMatrix('scale3d(2, 2, 2)'));
