Looking for an explanation of post/pre/set Translate (in Matrix object) and how to use them

问题

The documentation is pretty vague as to what is actually happening when these methods are used. Can someone explain how Matrix actually affects the Bitmap that it's being set to? They use the term concatenate in there, but I'm unclear on how that term applies to coordinate data (having only used it in regard to string manipulation before).

回答1:

The set-methods will replace the current Matrix with new values, disregarding whatever the Matrix contained before. The pre and post method will apply a new transformation before or after whatever the current Matrix contains.

In this example, the rotation will be ignored since we are using the set method and the m will only contain a translation:

Matrix m = new Matrix();

m.setRotate(90);

m.setTranslate(100, 100);

In this example, the final matrix will be a translation followed by a rotation:

Matrix m = new Matrix();

m.setTranslate(100, 100);

m.postRotate(90);

In the final example, the final matrix will be a rotation followed by a translation:

Matrix m = new Matrix();

m.setTranslate(100, 100);

m.preRotate(90);

There is some more information in this (rather lengthy) post:

Hope it helps.
