## Detailed Description

A matrix math class for 4x4 matrices of doubles.

This class provides access to Maya's internal matrix math library allowing matrices to be handled easily, and in a manner compatible with internal Maya data structures.

All methods that query the matrix are threadsafe, all methods that modify the matrix are not threadsafe.

Examples:

  apiMeshShape.cpp, apiMeshShape.h, apiMeshShapeUI.cpp, apiSimpleShapeUI.cpp, cgfxAttrDef.cpp, cgfxAttrDef.h, cgfxShaderNode.cpp, cgfxVector.cpp, closestPointCmd.cpp, closestPointOnNurbsSurfaceCmd.cpp, cvColorNode.cpp, D3DViewportRenderer.cpp, D3DViewportRenderer.h, dagPoseInfoCmd.cpp, footPrintNode.cpp, hlslShader.cpp, hwAnisotropicShader_NV20.cpp, hwColorPerVertexShader.cpp, hwPhongShader.cpp, hwReflectBumpShader_NV20.cpp, hwReflectBumpShader_NV20.h, hwRefractReflectShader_NV20.cpp, hwToonShader_NV20.cpp, instancerListCmd.cpp, intersectOnNurbsSurfaceCmd.cpp, meshRemapTool.cpp, offsetNode.cpp, OpenGLViewportRenderer.cpp, ownerEmitter.cpp, rockingTransform.cpp, rockingTransform.h, sampleCmd.cpp, sampleParticles.cpp, simpleEmitter.cpp, simpleFluidEmitter.cpp, simpleFluidEmitter.h, squareScaleManipContext.cpp, surfaceTwistCmd.cpp, sweptEmitter.cpp, swissArmyManip.cpp, torusField.cpp, and yTwistNode.cpp.
