Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The createSVGTransformFromMatrix() method of the SVGSVGElement interface creates an SVGTransform object outside of any document trees, based on the given DOMMatrix object.
Syntax
js

Parameters
Return value
An SVGTransform object, initialized to the given matrix transform. It is a matrix() transform if the matrix is 2D, and a matrix3d() transform otherwise.
Examples
Creating a Transform from a Matrix
html
<svg id="exampleSVG" width="200" height="200">
<rect id="exampleRect" x="50" y="50" width="100" height="50" fill="blue" />
</svg>
js
const svgElement = document.getElementById("exampleSVG");
const rectElement = document.getElementById("exampleRect");
// Create a new matrix
const matrix = svgElement.createSVGMatrix();
matrix.a = 1; // Scale x
matrix.d = 1; // Scale y
matrix.e = 50; // Translate x
matrix.f = 50; // Translate y
// Create a new SVGTransform from the matrix
const transform = svgElement.createSVGTransformFromMatrix(matrix);
// Apply the transform to the rectangle
rectElement.transform.baseVal.appendItem(transform);
