Transformation Matrices, Wt and the Homogeneous Mystery
-
There are four
Transformation.scaling()methods. Two of them set a global scale. The inverse of the global scale is placed inTransformationMatrix[15].If you have not looked, scaling through the Scale Tool is quite limited compared to what you can do with
Transformation.scaling(). -
You can also use the transformation matrix to skew components, which is a transformation where the axis is changed to not be 90degrees from red to blue to green. A cube becomes a rhomboid, for example. This is not part of the scaling method, but requires manipulation of the 16 element transformation matrix.

I've bookmarked a "how-to-skew" site, but I've not found the practical application yet. Have you?
-
Components/groups end up skewed if you got them nested a couple of times inside non.uniformly scaled parents.
