SVGTransformList: createSVGTransformFromMatrix() method
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The createSVGTransformFromMatrix() method of the SVGTransformList interface creates an SVGTransform object which is initialized to a transform of type SVG_TRANSFORM_MATRIX and whose values are the given matrix.
The values from the parameter matrix are copied; the matrix parameter is not adopted as SVGTransform::matrix.
Syntax
js
createSVGTransformFromMatrix(matrix)
Parameters
Return value
An SVGTransform object.
Examples
Creating a Transformation from a Matrix
html
<svg width="200" height="200">
<rect width="100" height="100" fill="blue" />
</svg>
js
const svgElement = document.querySelector("svg");
const rectElement = svgElement.querySelector("rect");
// Access the transform list of the <rect> element
const transformList = rectElement.transform.baseVal;
// Create a DOMMatrix object for a rotation transformation
const rotationMatrix = new DOMMatrix();
rotationMatrix.a = Math.cos(Math.PI / 4); // 45-degree rotation
rotationMatrix.b = Math.sin(Math.PI / 4);
rotationMatrix.c = -Math.sin(Math.PI / 4);
rotationMatrix.d = Math.cos(Math.PI / 4);
// Create an SVGTransform object from the matrix
const svgTransform = transformList.createSVGTransformFromMatrix(rotationMatrix);
// Append the new transformation to the transform list
transformList.appendItem(svgTransform);
console.dir(svgTransform); // Output: SVGTransform { type: 1, matrix: SVGMatrix, angle: 0 }
