# Scaling-Aspect-Rotation-Skew Method

In the second method, you specify scaling, aspect, rotation, and skew values for the transformation. Again, starting with the general 2D linear transformation, you can decompose the (2x2) matrix into four (2x2) matrices, which represent uniform rotation, skew, uniform scaling, and aspect.

where:

- S is the uniform x- and y-axis scaling.
- A is the aspect.
- Q is the skew angle.
- θ is the uniform or rigid rotation.
- Tx and Ty are the x- and y-translation.
