Hello,
Currently CSSMatrix and SVGMatrix has an immutable API. None of the
method calls change the Matrix, instead, it creates a new Matrix with
the changed value. It can be a problem specially when CSSMatrix is
used together with WebGL. [1]
We from WebKit are proposing a new Matrix API(simple as possible), see
below or [2], where the standard methods change the matrix(in place
operations) and additional methods (multipliedBy, scaledBy and so on)
create a new Matrix as is done by CSSMatrix and SVGMatrix.
The idea is make this class accepted where CSSMatrix and SVGMatrix is
used and be the preferred class for all Matrix needs. [3]
Any comments or suggestions?
