Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, an Paint event object. The code performs the following actions:

• Creates three matrices.

• Lists the contents of matrix 1 to the screen.

• Multiplies matrix 1 by matrix 2 and stores the result in matrix 1.

• Lists the contents of matrix 1 to the screen.

• Multiplies the result stored in matrix 1 by matrix 3, and again stores the result in matrix 1.

• Lists the contents of matrix 1 to the screen.

• Draws a rectangle to the screen prior to applying the matrix 1 transform (the blue rectangle).

• Applies the transform to the rectangle.

• Draws the transformed rectangle to the screen (the red rectangle), using the same coordinates as the previous rectangle.

Notice that the red rectangle has been scaled by a factor of two in the horizontal direction, then rotated 90 degrees, and then moved (translated) 250 points in the x direction and 50 points in the y direction.
