Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Defines functionality that enables transformations in a 2-D plane. Transformations include rotation (RotateTransform), scale (ScaleTransform), skew (SkewTransform), and translation (TranslateTransform). This class hierarchy differs from the Matrix structure because it is a class and it supports animation and enumeration semantics.

Remarks
Use the MatrixTransform class to create custom transformations that are not provided by the RotateTransform, ScaleTransform, SkewTransform, and TranslateTransform classes.
A 2-D x-y plane uses a 3x3 matrix for transformations. You can multiply affine transformation matrices to form linear transformations, such as rotation and skew (shear) that are followed by translation.
An affine transformation matrix has its final column equal to (0, 0, 1); therefore, you only have to specify the members in the first two columns.
A Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Matrix has the following structure:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| M11 | M12 | 0 |
| M21 | M22 | 0 |
| OffsetX | OffsetY | 1 |
The members in the last row, OffsetX and OffsetY, represent translation values.
Methods and properties usually specify the transformation matrix as a vector that has only six members; they are as follows:
(M11, M12, M21, M22, OffsetX, OffsetY)

Methods

Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable) |
| ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty, AnimationClock) |
Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable) |
| BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline, HandoffBehavior) |
Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable) |
| BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline) |
Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable) |
| CheckAccess() |
Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject) |
| ClearValue(DependencyProperty) |
Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| ClearValue(DependencyPropertyKey) |
Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| Clone() |
Creates a modifiable copy of this Transform by making deep copies of its values. |
| CloneCore(Freezable) |
Makes the instance a clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| CloneCurrentValue() |
Creates a modifiable clone of this Transform object by making deep copies of its values. This method does not copy resource references, data bindings, or animations, although it does copy their current values. |
| CloneCurrentValueCore(Freezable) |
Makes the instance a modifiable clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using current property values. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| CoerceValue(DependencyProperty) |
Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| CreateInstance() |
Initializes a new instance of the Freezable class. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| CreateInstanceCore() |
When implemented in a derived class, creates a new instance of the Freezable derived class. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| Equals(Object) |
Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| Freeze() |
Makes the current object unmodifiable and sets its IsFrozen property to |
| FreezeCore(Boolean) |
Makes this Animatable object unmodifiable or determines whether it can be made unmodifiable. (Inherited from Animatable) |
| GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty) |
Returns the non-animated value of the specified DependencyProperty. (Inherited from Animatable) |
| GetAsFrozen() |
Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable, using base (non-animated) property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| GetAsFrozenCore(Freezable) |
Makes the instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| GetCurrentValueAsFrozen() |
Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable using current property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| GetCurrentValueAsFrozenCore(Freezable) |
Makes the current instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable. If the object has animated dependency properties, their current animated values are copied. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| GetHashCode() |
Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| GetLocalValueEnumerator() |
Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetValue(DependencyProperty) |
Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| InvalidateProperty(DependencyProperty) |
Re-evaluates the effective value for the specified dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
| OnChanged() |
Called when the current Freezable object is modified. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| OnFreezablePropertyChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyObject, DependencyProperty) |
This member supports the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| OnFreezablePropertyChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyObject) |
Ensures that appropriate context pointers are established for a DependencyObjectType data member that has just been set. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| OnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) |
Overrides the DependencyObject implementation of OnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) to also invoke any Changed handlers in response to a changing dependency property of type Freezable. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| Parse(String) |
Creates a new Transform from the specified string representation of a transformation matrix. |
| ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty) |
Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| ReadPreamble() |

Sets the value of a dependency property without changing its value source. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| SetValue(DependencyProperty, Object) |

Transforms the specified point and returns the result. (Inherited from GeneralTransform) |
| TransformBounds(Rect) |
Transforms the specified bounding box and returns an axis-aligned bounding box that is exactly large enough to contain it. |
| TryTransform(Point, Point) |
Attempts to transform the specified point and returns a value that indicates whether the transformation was successful. |
| VerifyAccess() |
Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject) |
| WritePostscript() |
Raises the Changed event for the Freezable and invokes its OnChanged() method. Classes that derive from Freezable should call this method at the end of any API that modifies class members that are not stored as dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable) |
| WritePreamble() |
Verifies that the Freezable is not frozen and that it is being accessed from a valid threading context. Freezable inheritors should call this method at the beginning of any API that writes to data members that are not dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable) |

Occurs when the Freezable or an object it contains is modified. (Inherited from Freezable) |
