*** ** * ** ***
The Matrix44 class holds a 4x4 matrix for transforming coordinates. It is similar to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Matrix`, and should be used when you want to manipulate the canvas in 3D. Values are kept in row-major order. The values and operations are treated as column vectors.

## Public constructors
### Matrix44
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public Matrix44 ()
```
The default Matrix44 constructor will instantiate an identity matrix.
### Matrix44
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public Matrix44 (Matrix mat)
```
Creates and returns a Matrix44 by taking the 3x3 Matrix and placing it on the 0 of the z-axis by setting row `2` and column `2` to the identity as seen in the following operation:
```
[ a b c ] [ a b 0 c ]
[ d e f ] -> [ d e 0 f ]
[ g h i ] [ 0 0 1 0 ]
[ g h 0 i ]
```
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `mat` | `Matrix`: A 3x3 Matrix to be converted (original Matrix will not be changed). This value cannot be `null`.
|
## Public methods
### concat
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public Matrix44 concat (Matrix44 b)
```
Multiplies \`this\` matrix (A) and provided Matrix (B) in the order of A \* B. The result is saved in \`this\` Matrix.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `b` | `Matrix44`: The second Matrix in the concatenation operation. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Matrix44` | A reference to this Matrix, which can be used to chain Matrix operations. This value cannot be `null`.
|
### equals
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean equals (Object obj)
```
Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
The `equals` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:
- It is *reflexive*: for any non-null reference value `x`, `x.equals(x)` should return `true`.
- It is *symmetric*: for any non-null reference values `x` and `y`, `x.equals(y)` should return `true` if and only if `y.equals(x)` returns `true`.
- It is *transitive*: for any non-null reference values `x`, `y`, and `z`, if `x.equals(y)` returns `true` and `y.equals(z)` returns `true`, then `x.equals(z)` should return `true`.
- It is *consistent*: for any non-null reference values `x` and `y`, multiple invocations of `x.equals(y)` consistently return `true` or consistently return `false`, provided no information used in `equals` comparisons on the objects is modified.
- For any non-null reference value `x`, `x.equals(null)` should return `false`.
An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into *equivalence classes*; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `obj` | `Object`: the reference object with which to compare.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.
|
### get
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public float get (int row,
int col)
```
Gets the value at the matrix's row and column.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `row` | `int`: An integer from 0 to 3 indicating the row of the value to get. Value is between 0 and 3 inclusive
|
| `col` | `int`: An integer from 0 to 3 indicating the column of the value to get. Value is between 0 and 3 inclusive
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `float` |
|
### getValues
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void getValues (float[] dst)
```
Copies matrix values into the provided array in row-major order.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `dst` | `float`: The float array where values will be copied, must be of length 16. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` | if the destination float array is not of length 16 |
### hashCode
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int hashCode ()
```
Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HashMap`.
The general contract of `hashCode` is:
- Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the `hashCode` method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in `equals` comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
- If two objects are equal according to the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object)` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
- It is *not* required that if two objects are unequal according to the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object)` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | a hash code value for this object.
|
### invert
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean invert ()
```

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` on success, `false` otherwise
|
### isIdentity
Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean isIdentity ()
```
Returns true if Matrix44 is equal to identity matrix.

|---|---|
| `boolean` |
|
