DOMMatrix: fromFloat32Array() static method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2020.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The fromFloat32Array() static method of the DOMMatrix interface creates a new 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 TypeError exception is thrown.

Syntax

DOMMatrix.fromFloat32Array(array)

Parameters

array

A Float32Array with 6 or 16 elements in column-major order.

Return value

A DOMMatrix object.

Exceptions

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.

js
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.

js
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
