Transform point using localToSceneTransform

[Pedro Duque Vieira]

Hi,

Thanks for the info Pavel, I'll be using the internal method for now than.

I thought I would try to help out and post some other suggestions for the
transform class. I have read this discussion but not with the necessary
attention so apologies if I mention something that has already been
discussed, or bring up discussion topics that have already reached a
conclusion:

1-  public Vector3D transform(Vector3D point)

This implies having a Vector class which I think is appropriate. Vector
objects may be used to represent translation, surface normals, pick rays,
or other things

2- I don't like the append, prepend naming for the following reason: are
you adding or subtracting or multiplying,.. matrixs? I suggest "multiply"
as the name of the method.

3- public double determinant()
Calculates and returns the determinant of this transform

4- public boolean equals(Transform t)

5- invert()
 Inverts this transform in place

6- multiply(double scalar)
Multiplies each element of this transform by a scalar.

7- subtract(Transform t)
substracts this matrix with matrix t

8- add(Transform t)
adds this matrix with matrix t

9- transpose()
Transposes this matrix

Thanks, best regards,
