The Transformation Class

class PyPDF2.Transformation(ctm: Tuple[float, float, float, float, float, float] = (1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0))[source]

Bases: object

Specify a 2D transformation.

The transformation between two coordinate systems is represented by a 3-by-3 transformation matrix written as follows:

a b 0
c d 0
e f 1

Because a transformation matrix has only six elements that can be changed, it is usually specified in PDF as the six-element array [ a b c d e f ].

Coordinate transformations are expressed as matrix multiplications:

                            a b 0
[ x′ y′ 1 ] = [ x y 1 ] ×   c d 0
                            e f 1
