Class Matrix4

The Matrix4 implements a 4x4 matrix that can be used for homogenous transformations of three dimensional vectors and points.

The class follows the 'copy-on-write' pattern, which means that every operation such as Matrix4.multiply returns a copy of the matrix with updated values. It also implies that the values of the matrix cannot be directly modified.

The concept of immutability improves sharing of objects as all types in TypeScript are assigned by identity, instead of by-value (e.g. a copy) as in other programming languages like C.

Note

The matrix storage is "row-major" meaning that elements [0...3] represents the first row. The first column is represented by the elements[0, 4, 8, 12]
