Hi everybody, Is it possible to perform a linear taper transformation in svg (see http://www-scf.usc.edu/~akotaobi/gptut13.html for taper transformation). In the transformation 3x3 matrix only six of the nine elements can be specified, therefore this “non affine” transformation is normally not possible (only scaling, translation, rotation and skewing). Is there a workaround? If no, would it not make sense to introduce the more general 3x3 matrix for transformations in a future svg version (of course only 8 elements are variable, the [3,3] element has to be fixed to 1)? The linear taper transformation would absolutely make sense for having some perspective effects; additionally it would also be nice to implement the most general case, allowing all possible linear transformations. I hope not to bother the group with irrelevant things. Thanks a lot Manuel _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
