The thing about that list is that there are really only 3. The rest are just those matrices combined or with inverse or transpose applied. So implementing all of them would not be hard. The real reason to have all of them is to allow authors to use the one(s) that exactly fits the use can and have the multiplications all done in native code. ----- ~Chris cmarrin@apple.com
