Inkscape - Object Transformation

Inkscape Layout

About

Inkscape stores an object's transformation internally as a transformation matrix (which can be seen and modified with the XML Editor).

Inkscape Transform Matrix

A transformation matrix is always defined with respect to some point. The internal representation is with respect to the internal coordinate system origin (upper-left corner of page).
