D3DXMATRIX structure (D3DX10Math.h)

A 4x4 matrix that contains methods and operator overloads.

Syntax

typedef struct D3DXMATRIX {
  FLOAT _ij;
} D3DXMATRIX, *LPD3DXMATRIX;

Members

_ij

Type: FLOAT

The (i, j) component of the matrix, where i is the row number and j is the column number. For example, _34 means the same as [a₃₄], the component in the third row and fourth column.

Remarks

C programmers cannot use the D3DXMATRIX structure, they must use the D3DMATRIX structure. C++ programmers can take advantage of overloaded constructors and assignment, unary, and binary (including equality) operators.

In D3DX, the _34 element of a projection matrix cannot be a negative number. If your application needs to use a negative value in this ___location, it should scale the entire projection matrix by -1 instead.

D3DXMATRIX Extensions

D3DXMATRIX has the following C++ extensions.

#ifdef __cplusplus

                FLOAT _21, FLOAT _22, FLOAT _23, FLOAT _24,
                FLOAT _31, FLOAT _32, FLOAT _33, FLOAT _34,
                FLOAT _41, FLOAT _42, FLOAT _43, FLOAT _44 );
