## Description

When doing image manipulation you will often need 3x3 transformation matrices that define translation, rotation, scaling, shearing and arbitrary perspective transformations using a 3x3 matrix. Here you'll find a set of utility functions to set up those matrices and to perform basic matrix manipulations and tests.

Each matrix class has a 2 dimensional gdouble coeff member. The element for row r and column c of the matrix is coeff[r][c].
