SetWorldTransform...HELP again....

[xandaz]

    I mean... i prolly lost count for the time i spent thinking about it and i still can't understand the matrix thing and how it translates the DC. i was masking this thing that works with the members of xform, but it's not working. Can someone look into it? please?

What youre gona do with the matrix? I spent 2 years before understand how the matrix worked

Hi,
a matrix allows to combine several transformation: rotate, scale, shear, translation and reflection . Each of this transformation can be described through a matrix. The resulting transformation depends on the order in which the matrices get combined (matrix multiplication, CombineTransform).
For example, if you want to rotate around a specific point:

    1. translate point to origin: -Px, -Py
    2. rotate
    3. translate +Px,+Py

In the attachment an example program that allows to play with transformations.
