### transform

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

>
> - y' = skewX \* x + scaleY \* y + translateY

| startAngle | number | Yes  | 0      | Angle at which the gradient starts, in radians. The angle measurement starts horizontally from the right side of the center and moves clockwise.|
| x          | number | Yes  | 0      | X-coordinate of the center of the conic gradient, in vp.                             |
| y          | number | Yes  | 0      | Y-coordinate of the center of the conic gradient, in vp.                             |

**Example**

```ts
// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct CanvasExample {
  private settings: RenderingContextSettings = new RenderingContextSettings(true)
  private context: CanvasRenderingContext2D = new CanvasRenderingContext2D(this.settings)

  build() {
    Flex({ direction: FlexDirection.Column, alignItems: ItemAlign.Center, justifyContent: FlexAlign.Center }) {
      Canvas(this.context)
        .width('100%')
        .height('100%')
        .backgroundColor('#ffffff')
        .onReady(() => {
          var grad = this.context.createConicGradient(0, 50, 80)
          grad.addColorStop(0.0, '#ff0000')
          grad.addColorStop(0.5, '#ffffff')
          grad.addColorStop(1.0, '#00ff00')
          this.context.fillStyle = grad
          this.context.fillRect(0, 30, 100, 100)
        })
    }
    .width('100%')
    .height('100%')
