This class provides functions for defining transformation matrices used when drawing vector primitives.

Matrices provide a unified way to handle transformations such as translation, rotation, scaling, and shearing. By combining these into a single matrix, you can apply complex transformations to vectors with a single operation.

Multiple transformations can also be chained together through matrix multiplication, making matrices both efficient and elegant tools for managing motion and geometry in 2D space.

from badgeware import shapes, Matrix

circle = shapes.circle(0, 0, 1)
# chain operations to create a single transformation matrix that performs
# multiple modifications
circle.transform = Matrix().scale(10, 10).rotate(20).translate(10, 10)

Matrix()
Creates and returns a new identity matrix.

translate(x, y)
Returns a new matrix representing the current matrix multiplied by a translation matrix for the specified translation.

scale(x, y)
Returns a new matrix representing the current matrix multiplied by a scale matrix for the specified scale.

rotate(angle)
rotate_radians(angle)
Returns a new matrix representing the current matrix multiplied by a rotation matrix for the specified angle (in degrees or radians).

multiply(matrix)
Returns a new matrix representing the current matrix multiplied by the supplied matrix.
