hi- I think you misunderstood the question. I know how to concatenate transformations.
What I don't know is how to set (or concatenate) the transformation matrix of the current group without nesting groups. So, it's not the concatenate part I need to know, it is the non- nested group behavior part I need to know. thanks!- -lance On May 11, 2006, at 8:32 AM, Phi Tran wrote: > On 5/11/06, lbland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> hi- >> >> I can apply (concat) transforms using groups like this: >> >> <g transform="translate(50,50)"> >> <g transform="translate(2,2)"> >> <! do stuff /> >> <g transform="translate(2,2)"> >> <! do stuff /> >> </g> >> </g> >> </g> > > > In this case you can.
