  32 /** This structure defines a 2 by 2 matrix.<p>
  33
  34     This constitutes a linear mapping of a point in 2D to another
  35     point in 2D.<p>
  36
  37     The matrix defined by this structure constitutes a linear
  38     mapping of a point in 2D to another point in 2D. In contrast to
  39     the <type>com.sun.star.geometry.AffineMatrix2D</type>, this
  40     matrix does not include any translational components.<p>
  41
  42     A linear mapping, as performed by this matrix, can be written out
  43     as follows, where <code>xs</code> and <code>ys</code> are the source, and
  44     <code>xd</code> and <code>yd</code> the corresponding result coordinates:
  45
  46     <code>
  47         xd = m00*xs + m01*ys;
  48         yd = m10*xs + m11*ys;
  49     </code><p>
  50
  51     Thus, in common matrix language, with M being the
  52     <type>Matrix2D</type> and vs=[xs,ys]^T, vd=[xd,yd]^T two 2D
  53     vectors, the linear mapping is written as
  54     vd=M*vs. Concatenation of transformations amounts to
  55     multiplication of matrices, i.e. a scaling, given by S,
  56     followed by a rotation, given by R, is expressed as vd=R*(S*vs) in
  57     the above notation. Since matrix multiplication is associative,
  58     this can be shortened to vd=(R*S)*vs=M'*vs. Therefore, a set of
  59     consecutive transformations can be accumulated into a single
  60     Matrix2D, by multiplying the current transformation with the
  61     additional transformation from the left.<p>
  62
  63     Due to this transformational approach, all geometry data types are
  64     points in abstract integer or real coordinate spaces, without any
  65     physical dimensions attached to them. This physical measurement
  66     units are typically only added when using these data types to
  67     render something onto a physical output device, like a screen or a
  68     printer. Then, the total transformation matrix and the device
  69     resolution determine the actual measurement unit.<p>
