DOMMatrix: fromFloat32Array() static method

The fromFloat32Array() static method of the {{domxref("DOMMatrix")}} interface creates a new {{domxref("DOMMatrix")}} object given an array of single-precision (32-bit) floating-point values.

If the array has 6 values, the result is a 2D matrix; if the array has 16 values, the result is a 3D matrix. Otherwise, a {{jsxref("TypeError")}} exception is thrown.

Syntax

js-nolint

DOMMatrix.fromFloat32Array(array)

Parameters

array
- : A {{jsxref("Float32Array")}} with 6 or 16 elements in column-major order.

Return value

A {{domxref("DOMMatrix")}} object.

Exceptions

{{jsxref("TypeError")}}
- : Thrown if the length of the array parameter is not 6 or 16.

Examples

Creating a 2D matrix from a Float32Array

This example creates a 2D matrix from a 6-element Float32Array.

const float32Array = new Float32Array([1, 0, 0, 1, 10, 20]);
const matrix2D = DOMMatrix.fromFloat32Array(float32Array);

console.log(matrix2D.toString());
// Output: matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 10, 20)

console.log(matrix2D.is2D);
// Output: true

Creating a 3D matrix from a Float32Array

This example creates a 3D matrix from a 16-element Float32Array.

const float32Array = new Float32Array([
  1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 10, 20, 30, 1,
]);
const matrix3D = DOMMatrix.fromFloat32Array(float32Array);

console.log(matrix3D.is2D);
// Output: false

console.log(matrix3D.m41, matrix3D.m42, matrix3D.m43);
// Output: 10 20 30
