    <p>I have a free clip art SVG file originally created in Inkscape which I'm making modifications to for use in a Windows 8 JavaScript game. It contains numerous instances of a path with a matrix transform applied on a surrounding group, like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;g transform="matrix(0.443,0.896,-0.896,0.443,589.739,-373.223)"&gt; &lt;path d="M486,313s27-9,43-29l26,4,1,23-22,5s-25-6-48-3z" /&gt; &lt;/g&gt; </code></pre> <p>I want to flatten that transform by applying it in advance to the path in Inkscape, to reduce browser work during animation. However when I plug the 6 matrix values into the A B C D E F parameters in Inkscape and apply it, it gives the path a completely different rotation and scaling to what the IE10 engine does.</p> <p>I have checked numerous times that I have the 6 values mapped correctly. What am I doing wrong?</p> <p>EDIT: OK, here are before and after screenshots from IE10 and Inkscape. For the IE10 case, the SVG resides directly inside the body of an otherwise empty HTML document (the rendering is exactly the same in Firefox). In Inkscape, I simply opened the "before" SVG file which contains only the path element, selected the path, and plugged in the 6 matrix transform values into Object > Transform > Matrix. I know very little about matrices, I just want to be able to pre-apply these transformations in the same way the browser does, and ideally to understand why there is a difference in Inkscape. Thanks.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/o3It1.png" alt="IE10 path only"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/31oF5.png" alt="IE10 path with transform"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/D7p2j.png" alt="Inkscape path only"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VoKFR.png" alt="Inkscape path with transform"></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
