SVGTransform: setMatrix() method
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 setMatrix() method of the SVGTransform interface sets the transform type to SVG_TRANSFORM_MATRIX, with parameter matrix defining the new transformation.
Note that the values from the parameter matrix are copied, meaning changes to the matrix object after calling this method will not affect the transformation.
Syntax
js
setMatrix(matrix)
Parameters
Return value
None (undefined).
Exceptions
NoModificationAllowedErrorDOMException-
Thrown if the attribute or the
SVGTransformobject is read-only.
Examples
Setting a Transformation Matrix
js
// Get an SVG element and create a transform object
const svgElement = document.querySelector("svg");
const transform = svgElement.createSVGTransform();
// Create a DOMMatrix with specific values
const matrix = new DOMMatrix();
matrix.a = 1; // Scale X
matrix.d = 1; // Scale Y
matrix.e = 50; // Translate X
matrix.f = 50; // Translate Y
// Set the transform to the new matrix
transform.setMatrix(matrix);
console.dir(transform.matrix); // Output: SVGMatrix { a: 1, b: 0, c: 0, d: 1, e: 50, f: 50 }
