Method Details

init(list1=None, list2=None, list3=None, list4=None)
(Constructor)

Create a new matrix object from initialized values.

Example:

 matrix = Mathutils.Matrix([1,1,1],[0,1,0],[1,0,0])

Parameters:: list1 - A 2d,3d or 4d list.
(type=PyList of int/float); list2 - A 2d,3d or 4d list.
(type=PyList of int/float); list3 - A 2d,3d or 4d list.
(type=PyList of int/float); list4 - A 2d,3d or 4d list.
(type=PyList of int/float)

Returns:
