Maybe you misunderstood what I was implying. You are describing an intended application of the matrix to 2d or 3d graphics. The problem is that the is2D() method is applicable to what appears to be a generic object. That object has a name “DOMMatrix” which implies a general capability that isn’t present. However, when someone says matrix [1], I think matrix. My understanding of matrices extends beyond 4x4 and 2x3. It’s understandable perhaps that the matrix object is 2-dimensional only, because that is highly useful for the application you have in mind, and a lot more besides. I think that a lot of this sort of confusion would be remedied by having a different name, in both cases. CSSMatrix is heaps better (but there I might be demonstrating ignorance of “CSS”), and is2x3() would also help. —Martin [1] ...here a DOM prefix has been rendered effectively meaningless through overuse. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
