Description Yves YANG

The current SWT implementation provides some basic transformations under the advanced feature. A very important feature is missing is the Projection Transition. It projects a 3D objects in 2D. 

Typically, if we have an image, if we want to turn it in 30 degrees on the X axis. This feature is very important for the fashion transition.

SSQ, do you know if this is possible on GDIP, cairo, and cocoa ?
This sounds like something cool for a new feature.

I know it is possible using OpenGL and WPF/Silverlight .Net. Here the doc on Silverlight:

I admit up front that my graphics knowledge is pretty basic, but this sounds like functionality in CoreAnimation:

Can this transformation be done by 3x3 matrix ?

If yes, then you can do it already calling Transform.setElements()
If not, then I'm afraid we won't be able to fix problem for you neither. Sorry.

AFIAK, SWT supports only 3x2 matrix.

Right, this is the support we have in GDI+.

The 3x2 matrix doesn't handle the project transformation. It should be 3x3 Matrix.

In this case we can't fix this. Closing as wont fix (platform limitation). Sorry.
