DOMMatrixReadOnly: toFloat64Array() method

The toFloat64Array() method of the DOMMatrixReadOnly interface returns a new Float64Array containing all 16 elements (m11, m12, m13, m14, m21, m22, m23, m24, m31, m32, m33, m34, m41, m42, m43, m44) which comprise the matrix. The elements are stored into the array as double-precision floating-point numbers in column-major (colexographical access, or “colex”) order. (In other words, down the first column from top to bottom, then the second column, and so forth.)

Syntax

toFloat64Array()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A Float64Array; an array of the matrix’s 16 element values.

Examples

const matrix = new DOMMatrixReadOnly();
let float64 = matrix.translate(20, 30, 50).toFloat64Array();
console.log(float64); // Float64Array(16) [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 20, 30, 0, 1 ] ]
console.log(`m41: ${float64[12]}, m42: ${float64[13]}, m43: ${float64[14]}`); // m41: 20, m42: 30, M44: 40

float64 = matrix.rotate(30).toFloat64Array();
console.log(float64);
console.log(`m11: ${float64[0]}, m12: ${float64[1]}`); // m11: 0.8660254037844387, m12: 0.49999999999999994
