Property Value

Returns the determinant of this transformation object's 2x2 matrix. You might use the MatrixDeterminant to test for a degenerate transform: for example, the Singular method is based on the determinant. You might also use the determinant to ascertain how a transform changes the handedness of the x- and y-axes: if the matrix determinant is negative, the transform swaps the handedness of the x- and y-axes. In other words, if the determinant is negative, the Skew is greater than +90 or less than -90 degrees; if the determinant is positive, the skew is between +90 and -90 degrees.
