### transform

transform(a: number, b: number, c: number, d: number, e: number, f: number): void

Defines a transformation matrix. To transform a graph, you only need to set parameters of the matrix. The coordinates of the graph are multiplied by the matrix values to obtain new coordinates of the transformed graph. You can use the matrix to implement multiple transform effects.

> **NOTE**
>
> The following formulas calculate coordinates of the transformed graph. **x** and **y** represent coordinates before transformation, and **x'** and **y'** represent coordinates after transformation.
>
> - x' = scaleX \* x + skewY \* y + translateX
>
> - y' = skewX \* x + scaleY \* y + translateY
