DOMMatrixReadOnly: multiply() method

Baseline Widely available

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

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The multiply() method of the DOMMatrixReadOnly interface creates and returns a new matrix which is the dot product of the matrix and the otherMatrix parameter. If otherMatrix is omitted, the matrix is multiplied by a matrix in which every element is 0 except the bottom-right corner and the element immediately above and to its left: m33 and m34. These have the default value of 1. The original matrix is not modified.

To mutate the matrix as you multiply it, see DOMMatrix.multiplySelf().

Syntax

js

multiply(otherMatrix)

console.log(multipliedMatrix.toString()); // output: matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 26, 42)
