To run this, you need ianm matrix utils 32, for the "set matrix" command.

prints a matrix4 and returns the width of the matrix4 in pixels. Use 0 decimal places if your matrix consists of only whole numbers.

In the remarks section it says:
`[2,0,2,1] [1,6,2,6]
`[1,2,3,4] [3,7,9,3]
`[2,6,1,7]x[3,5,7,1]
`[1,2,6,4] [4,3,7,3]
but it displays the transposed matrices...
(column)*4+row --> row*4+column ?

This could really help people understand the 3D math commands though.

Cheers!

:X ugh... you're right...

So in the command "set matrix" help pages, the order is 11,12,13,14,21,22,23...
Going from index 0 to 15, the "get matrix4 element" command returns
11,21,31,41,12,22,32,42...?

Ugh... these conventions are really getting me, I think one thing then it turns out to be another. maybe I won't do anything with 3d maths without making sure everything is tested first :S

I'll fix the above example.

[edit]

also, thank you a lot for pointing that out! :S

[edit2]
also also, thanks for that post in the "square pyramid" thread. It really sorted me out. Namely the property:
(x*A*B*...*N)'=x'=N'*...*B'*A'*x', showing me just how I could make such a mistake (well, a property I used correctly by mistake
).

The set matrix4 has the same order as 0-15.

Of course, if you insisted on using column vectors, then you're actually reading and writing the transposed matrix. This also applies to the set matrix4 command (you have to write the transposed matrix in that case).

[edit] Oh and I'm glad I could help

ugh, you're right. Lets just say for now that I'm bad with matrices ._.
