Thanks Jeff, not sure if i understand it correctly. I come from an AS3 background and tf matrixes i understand. So if i would scale the canvas via a matrix and then draw stuff on it, this stuff is then scaled when drawn. if i then after the scaling do a restore() all is 100% scaled again?
Or is that the matrix is resetted but the drawn stuff remains how it was before calling the restore()? jiri Jeff Sharkey wrote: > Think of it as checkpointing the transformation matrix and clip > rectangle of your Canvas at a known place in time.
