Is there anything special with a 3x3 matrix where the 3rd row is 0 0 1?












1












$begingroup$


I'm coding using p5.js and I'm looking at this method https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5/applyMatrix



Using that method, I can multiply my current matrix with any matrix of the form:



$$
begin{pmatrix}
a & c & e \
b & d & f \
0 & 0 & 1 \
end{pmatrix}
$$



by calling applyMatrix(a, b, c, d, e, f)



There is no method for multiplying any arbitrary matrix like:
$$
begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 \
4 & 5 & 6 \
7 & 8 & 9 \
end{pmatrix}
$$



Is there anything special with a matrix of that form? Is it possible to convert any arbitrary matrix (like the bottom matrix) into a matrix of that form?

    You could fit your $3 times 3$ matrix into the larger matrix $$ pmatrix{1&2&3&0\4&5&6&0\7&8&9&0\0&0&0&1} $$ which I would say is a "matrix of that form"

    @DarkPotatoKing It is used to represent affine transformations. (This is also hinted at in the page you linked.)

It is a standard way to represent an affine transformation of the plane; this is how it is used on the page you linked. The submatrix $A = begin{pmatrix} a & c \ b & d end{pmatrix}$ in your question represents the linear part of the affine transformation, and the extra column $t = begin{pmatrix} e \ f end{pmatrix}$ to the right corresponds to the translation part of the transformation. In full, the corresponding transformation maps a vector $v$ to the vector $Av + t$.
