Isometric Transformation Matrix

By Zevan | July 19, 2009

CLICK HERE TO COPY
Actionscript:

var grid:Sprite = Sprite(addChild(new Sprite()));

var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();

// make the grid sprite look isometric using the transform.matrix property

matrix.rotate(Math.PI / 4);

matrix.scale(1, 0.5);

matrix.translate(stage.stageWidth / 2, stage.stageHeight / 2);

grid.transform.matrix = matrix;

 

// draw a grid of circles to show that it does in fact look isometric

var rowCol:Number = 8;

var num:Number = rowCol * rowCol;

 

var diameter:Number [...]
