Reference mat2()

mat2()

This API is experimental

Its behavior may change in a future version of p5.js.

Creates a 2x2 matrix inside a p5.strands shader callback.

A 2x2 matrix can rotate, scale, and slant a two-component vector, but it has no room to store a move, so there is no transform alias for it. Use transform2D() to also move points around.

Called without arguments it returns the identity matrix. It can also be called with a single number, which fills the diagonal; a single matrix, which is resized; 2 column vectors; or 4 values in column-major order.

Note: mat2() can only be used inside a p5.strands shader callback.

Examples

Syntax

Parameters

values1, ..., valuesn
Number: nothing for the identity matrix, one number, one matrix, 2 column vectors, or 4 values in column-major order.

Returns

a 2x2 matrix.
